This is the Study Guide made by Block A: 2013

Keywords to know:

• Interval
• Trend
• Types of graphs
  • Bar graph
  • Double bar graph
  • Pictograph
  • Line graph
• Circle graph Percentage
• Horizontal axis (x-axis)
• Vertical axis (y-axis)
• Distorted visual
• Break in the graph

Things we need to know

• What is each graph best at?
  • What are their advantages
  • What are their disadvantages
  • What kinds of data does each show
• How to draw a graph
  • Choose a scale for the graph (especially on the vertical axis)
  • How to make the intervals all the same size
• What makes a graph misleading
  • Explain how a graph is misleading
• How to critique a graph
  • Does the graph support the data
  • Is the title/conclusion supported by the graph
  • Does it have misleading features?
• How to use a circle graph to make predictions using the percents
  • example: if you spend 34% of your allowance on candy, and you're monthly allowance is $20, how much should you spend on candy?

Things we might be asked:

• Draw a graph to show data
  • choose correct intervals on each axis
  • choose a scale that will show the graph best
  • choose an appropriate title for the graph
• Redraw a misleading graph so that it is no longer misleading
• Critique a graph
  • Is this the best type of graph to show the data and/or conclusion
