create a graph
These details must be included in every graph.
o Title: This may be the same as the table you use to collect data.
o Independent variable: this is located on the horizontal axis, or x-axis; the data collection table can be used to provide this.
Utilize the same description as the data collection table for the dependent variable, which is plotted on the vertical (y-axis).
• The summary data (median, mean) must be displayed if you are only going to present one graphic display.
Here is an example of a graph with the required details:
Title: Amount of Rainfall by Month in 2021
Independent variable: Month
Dependent variable: Inches of Rainfall
(Jan) ----- (Feb) ----- (Mar) ----- (Apr) ----- (May) ----- (Jun) ----- (Jul) ----- (Aug) ----- (Sep) ----- (Oct) ----- (Nov) ----- (Dec)
0 ------------ 2 ------------ 3 ------------ 1 ------------ 4 ------------ 5 ------------ 2 ------------ 3 ------------ 1 ------------ 4 ------------ 5 ------------ 3
Summary data:
Median: 3 inches
Mean: 2.67 inches
(Disclaimer: Data shown in the example graph is purely fictional and does not represent actual rainfall measurements.)
