What kind of graph would you use to show the number of twins born each year?
I think a line graph
Would you use a line plot or bar graph to display a survey of what teens do for entertainment after school? I think line plot
Actually, for showing the number of twins born each year, a bar graph would be more appropriate. A bar graph uses bars of different heights to represent the data and allows for a clear comparison between different years.
For displaying a survey of what teens do for entertainment after school, a bar graph would also be suitable. A bar graph would enable you to visually represent the different activities chosen by teens and easily compare their frequencies. A line plot, on the other hand, is typically used to track changes over time for a single variable.
Actually, for the question about the number of twins born each year, a bar graph would be more appropriate. A bar graph is used to display and compare categorical data, where each category is represented by a bar. In this case, the number of twins born each year would be a categorical variable (e.g., year), and the height of each bar would represent the frequency or count of twins born in that year. This type of graph would allow you to track the changes in the number of twins born over time.
Regarding the survey of what teens do for entertainment after school, a bar graph or a stacked bar graph would be more suitable than a line plot. A bar graph is used to display categorical data, where each category is represented by a bar. In this case, each category would represent a type of entertainment (e.g., sports, video games, reading) and the height of each bar would represent the frequency or percentage of teens engaging in that particular activity. This type of graph would allow you to compare the popularity of different entertainment activities among teens. A stacked bar graph could be used if you want to compare the distribution of activities within each category (e.g., different types of sports within the sports category).
A line plot, on the other hand, is typically used to display numerical data with a continuous range. It shows individual data points along a number line, and the points are connected by line segments. It might not be the most suitable choice for displaying categorical data like the survey responses you mentioned.
