Bar
graphs
I
found that more often than not making a bar chart using Microsoft word programs
seems easier at times. Looking up or solving equations to place the numerical
data in the corresponding areas seems easy. That is until you have to do it
under constraints. I think when you have to be graded or be very specific and
follow time job related task t can make the task a little more difficult. The
presentation and having correct data in the required fields can make the job
troublesome.
Used
to represent data
I can
not think of a bar graph that has a representation of data on it’s own. I mean
when you look at a pie chart you can count the slices to represent the
specified question. Maybe not in all scenarios but possibly in some as simple
as ¾ representing 75%. I do not think that there is a stand-alone bar graph
that can represent 1/2 or 50%. Numbers are usually placed into the designated
areas to define the given criteria. I may be wrong. This will make me have to
think harder about the upcoming assignment. I probably would use a bar graph
to represent increases and decreases in certain volumes.
