BAR GRAPH
The bar graph is used to compare the items between different groups over time, bar graphs are used to measure the changes over a period of time, when the changes are larger, a bar graph is the best option to represent the data.
SEGMENTED BAR GRAPH
A segmented bar graph is used to compare two categories within a data set, the whole bar represents all the data within one category. Then, each bar is separated into parts (segments) that show the percentage of each part in the second category.
COLUMN GRAPH
A column graph summarizes categorical data by presenting parallel vertical bars with a height (and hence area) proportionate to specific quantities of data for each category, this type of graph can be useful in comparing two or more distributions of nominal- or ordinal-level data.
WHISKERS GRAPH
A box and whisker plot is a way of summarizing
a set of data measured on an interval scale, it is often used in explanatory data analysis, this type of graph is used to show the shape of the distribution, its central value, and its variability.
FREQUENCY GRAPH
Frequency tables, pie charts, and bar charts can be used to display the distribution of a single categorical variable,these displays show all possible values of the variable along with either the frequency (count) or relative frequency (percentage).
CUMULATIVE FREQUENCY GRAPH
Cumulative frequency is used to determine the number of observations that lie above (or below) a particular value in a data set, the cumulative frequency is calculated by adding each frequency from a frequency distribution table to the sum of its predecessors.
FREQUENCY POLYGON
A frequency polygon is a graphical form of representation of data, it is used to depict the shape of the data and to depict trends, It is usually drawn with the help of a histogram but can be drawn without it as well. Frequency polygons are a graphical device for understanding the shapes of distributions.
HISTOGRAM
A histogram is used to summarize discrete or continuous data, in other words, it provides a visual interpretation of numerical data by showing the number of data points that fall within a specified range of values (called “bins”). It is similar to a vertical bar graph.
