SUMMARY

There are four different types of graphs that you can use. The

graph that is most common is the bar graph. Bar charts are most

often used to show amounts or the number of times a value occurs.

The line graphs are often used to plot changes in data over, such as

monthly temperature changes or daily changes in stock market

prices. The line graph represent changes in your data. The scatter

plot graph is to show trends in data. The difference between line

graphs and scatter plot graphs, is that line graphs connect the dots

or points of data to show every change, with a scatter plot you draw

a “best fit” Line. Pie graph it can only be used to show percentages.
