Bar graph Question?

Question

A Bar graph is used to show relative size of the quantities represented. It best shows percentages of a whole?

True or False?

Answer 1

The first part is true, but a pie chart is used to show percentages of a whole, so false.

Answer 2

A circle graph is shaped like a circle. It is divided into fractions that look like pieces of pie, so sometimes a circle graph is called a pie graph. Many times the fractional parts are different colors and a key explains the colors. A bar graph uses bars to show data. The bars can be vertical (up and down), or horizontal (across). The data can be in words or numbers. A picture graph uses pictures or symbols to show data. One picture often stands for more than one vote so a key is necessary to understand the symbols. A histogram is a special kind of bar graph. The data must be shown as numbers in order. A line graph shows points plotted on a graph. The points are then connected to form a line.

Answer 3

False. A pie chart is better because it gives the additional impression of the relative sizes of the data by the relative sizes of the slices of the pie.

A "STACKED" BAR graph may do the same but the visual comparison is better in pie charts.
