Will fan and medal

What factors should you consider when determining the best graph or display to represent a given set of data? In your answer, choose a set of data relevant to your life and explain the best way to display it.

Answer 1

I'm pondering...

Answer 2

ok, loaded @Michele_Laino

Answer 3

generally, in order to draw the best line of a set of experimental data, we apply the least ssquare method. In order to apply that method, it is necessary to know the uncertainties of the measures of at least a quantity

Answer 4

Is that the answer for the the "What factors should you consider when determining the best graph or display to represent a given set of data?"?

Answer 5

@Michele_Laino

Answer 6

I think that a factor can be the precision or accuracy, used to make the measures of the quantities involved in our experiment

Answer 7

okay, @Michele_Laino

Answer 8

what do we do? @Michele_Laino

Answer 9

:)

Answer 10

I dont understand? @Michele_Laino

Answer 11

we have to keep all the measures, and then we have to apply the formulas about the least squares method

Answer 12

I dont know HOW to do this AT ALL. @Michele_Laino

Answer 13

your question is a generic question, I need more information about it

Answer 14

The assessment for this lesson is a discussion about the following topic:

@Michele_Laino

Answer 15

can you post those guidelines, please?

Answer 16

i just posted them?

Answer 17

@Michele_Laino

Answer 18

yes, thanks!

Answer 19

no problem @Michele_Laino

Answer 20

ok!

Answer 21

So?? @Michele_Laino

Answer 22

Sorry, I don't see them!

Answer 23

What factors should you consider when determining the best graph or display to represent a given set of data? Then just use something from real life to explain it @Michele_Laino

Answer 24

please wait a moment, I'm searching for an example into my textbook

Answer 25

you need to look at the type of data.

is the data categorical or quantitative...

it the data is quantitative is it discrete or continuous.

is the data nominal or ordinal...

so these things determine which is the best graph to use...

Answer 26

@campbell_st idkh...

Answer 27

the educational section of the Australian Bureau of Statistics have information on types of data and graphs

http://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/cashome.nsf//Home/Entry+Page.es?opendocument#from-banner=GT

its the top item in AC Support

hope it helps

Answer 28

as an example.... the type of car you drive is categorical data.

you could put that into a sector graph or divided bar graph

Answer 29

this is my example:
if the volume of a sample of gas is held constant, then the temperature T of that gas depends on the pressure P of the same gas, so we can write this:
\[T = A + BP\]
Now we have to make some measures of temperature T of the gas and some measure of the corresponding pressures of that gas. Then using the least square method we can find the values of the coefficient s A and B

Answer 30

measures*

Answer 31

But is that a data set.... or a table of values from a model..? @Michele_Laino

Answer 32

It is an example, if you want I can provide the table of the corresponding measures

Answer 33

yes please @Michele_Laino

Answer 34

@Michele_Laino

Answer 35

please wait

Answer 36

A simple question @xPastelx

does this relate to statistics and data...?

if it does go and look at the link I gave you... it has a fabulous summary of what is needed for different data types

Answer 37

#test pressure P (mm of Hg) Temperature T (°C) A+BP
1 65 -20 -22.2
2 75 17 14.9
3 85 42 52
4 95 94 89.1
5 105 127 126.2

Answer 38

sorry I restart

Answer 39

#test Pressure Temperature A+BP
1 65 -20 -22.2
2 75 17 14.9
3 85 42 52
4 95 94 89.1
5 105 127 126.2

Answer 40

the temperature are measured in celsius degrees, whereas the pressures are measured in mm of Hg

Answer 41

from those data we get the subsequent values of the coefficients A and B:
A=-263.35
B=3.71
as I said before, in order to get those values, we have to apply the least squares method

Answer 42

but what happens @Michele_Laino if the data is a set of quiz results

15, 30, 40, 100, 98, 55, 65,....

that's a data set... how would you graph them..?

Answer 43

here's someones elses example of it
The best graph i would use is a bar graph between my school work to see which lesson i do most Math, science, LA , SS.

Answer 44

@Michele_Laino

Answer 45

the bar graph is another type of graph. We can use that type of graph when we have to show the distribution of the sample of a population of a school with respect to the subjects teached in that school

Answer 46

So?? What's the answer? @Michele_Laino
