OpenStudy (anonymous):

Line. Because that shows the median each (month, week, day, hour etc.) It shows through a connecting line.

OpenStudy (perl):

air temperature is a continuous measurement

OpenStudy (perl):

@Neon_Green the median?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk... first word that popped into head XD

OpenStudy (perl):

Line graphs are used to display data or information that changes continuously over time. Line graphs allow us to see overall trends such as an increase or decrease in data over time. By contrast, bar graphs emphasize the magnitude of changes, so they are a good way to to demonstrate data with sharp fluctuations, but not continuously over time.

OpenStudy (perl):

oh ok :)

OpenStudy (perl):

what about a circle graph, what are those used for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pie chart that may be the more familiar term...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is showing percentages. |dw:1418136625757:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the other ones would be a percentage as well... as if you were trying to figure out what percentage of school kids liked Dogs vs. Cats... or what there favorite type of ice cream was.
