1. Use your notes to list the different types of graphs. Please list the advantages and disadvantages of each graph.
Bar Graph
Advantage - Is the bar graph you can clearly compare the different categories and tell which one is the most popular.
Disadvantage - Is that you cant tell what the exact the number.
Circle Graph
Advantage - You can compare the data to the whole percent easily.
Disadvantage - You have to do a lot of work
to get the percent of the categories .
Distorting the bar
When you distort the bar you make one look 3-D , colour one of the bars a different colour than the rest,Make on of the bar wider. You do this to make one of the bars stand out so it seems more importation.
When you distort the visuals, you would want to take the one with the less number and make the picture bigger so seems that if has the same numbers or even more.
When you distort the scale you make a break in the y axis, when you have a break you want it to be big so its more different.
3) The following chart shows Pizza Sub Sales over a month. What 2 graphs would show the information accurately?
I would use the pictograph because there seems to be a big different from September and November
