Non spatial ways to display data

Question 1

line graph (use, advantage, disadvantage)

Answer 1

Use: shows continuous data e.g. over distance
Advantage: easy to read and interoperate
Disadvantage:graph doesn’t make sense if you don’t label the axis correctly

Question 2

scatter graph (use, advantage, disadvantage)

Answer 2

Use: to compare two variables and see the relationship
Advantage:easy to interoperate
Disadvantage:graph doesn’t make sense if axis isn’t labelled correctly

Question 3

multiple line graph (use, advantage, disadvantage)

Answer 3

Use: to compare continuous data e.g. looking at change over distance
Advantage: easy to visually compare
Disadvantage: graph doesn’t make sense if axis is labelled incorrectly

Question 4

compound line graph (use, advantage, disadvantage)

Answer 4

Use: shoe constitutions of a whole
Advantage: visual
Disadvantage: too many colours can be difficult to interoperate, hard to work out individual sections and time consuming

Question 5

Triangular graph (use, advantage, disadvantage)

Answer 5

Use: to compare and look at relationships between 3 data types
Advantage: useful to compare 3 variables
Disadvantage: takes time to interperate
