Bar Graphs Q & A
What is the Bar Graph Advantage over Pie Charts?
Bar Graphs are easier to make & to read than pie charts.
How are Bar Graphs Different from Pie Charts?
Both pie charts & bar graphs can display the distribution of a categorical variable.
How are Bar Graphs Different from Pie Charts?
A bar graph can also compare any set of quantities measured in the same units. Data does NOT have to be part of a whole.
7
Type of Variables on a Bar Graph
• x-axis variable?Normally a ______________ Variable.
• y-axis variable?Normally, a ______________ Variable
Then decide if the y-axis variable is _______ or _________.
8
Type of Variables on a Bar Graph
• x-axis variable?Normally a Categorical Variable.
• y-axis variable?Normally, a Quantitative Variable
Then decide if the y-axis variable is Discrete or Continuous.

“Would The Bar Graph Make a Good Pie Chart?”
• If the answer is NO, you could write:– No, because these values are comparative
data only. OR– No, because these values do NOT represent
parts of the whole.
• If the answer is YES, you could write:– Yes, because these values represent parts of
the whole.
