i was confused with the names of the graphs at first, used to only what the office tools named them and what i was told by other students. now learning the different types i know what type of graph to use in which situation.
a pie chart is used more if your talking about a whole and breaking things down
a bar graph is used in statistical data
a Line Graph is used to see trends in your data.
if i was talking about how much of my budget i spend on each category, which would i choose?
a pie graph of course
if i was talking about average age groups of the students in the class i would use?
a line graph.
if i needed to see how many vegetables of each kind i got i would use?
bar graph
the number one thing to always check is your data type to make sure your using the correct type of chart
secondly always ALWAYS make sure you label your graphs properly.
