I get confused on this. What type of chart would I use that would show the relationship between age and deaths/1000 people from car accidents. We are provided age groupings of 1-14, 15-24, 25-44, 45-64, and 65+
with this we also have the death rates for each group per 1000.
I am not sure which chart would be best.
I'd probably use a histogram, although a bar graph would also work.

To show the relationship between age groups and deaths per 1000 people from car accidents, you can use a bar chart or a line chart.
1. Bar Chart:
A bar chart is suitable if you want to compare the death rates for each age group visually. You can represent each age group on the x-axis and the death rate on the y-axis. The height of each bar will correspond to the death rate for that age group. This will allow for easy comparison between the age groups.
2. Line Chart:
A line chart can show the trend in death rates across age groups. You can represent age groups on the x-axis and the death rates on the y-axis. Connect the points on the chart with a line to show the pattern of change in death rates. This can help identify any increasing or decreasing trends as age increases.
To create the chart:
1. Compile the data for death rates for each age group.
2. Choose a suitable tool or software for creating charts, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
3. Enter the age groupings on the x-axis and the death rates on the y-axis.
4. Select the chart type (bar or line chart) that best suits your needs.
5. Customize the chart to make it visually appealing, add labels, and title.
6. Interpret the chart by analyzing the relationship between age groups and death rates from car accidents.
Remember to properly label the axis, provide a title, and choose appropriate scales to ensure clarity in your chart.
