  1. Properties of Bar Graphs • Bars can be vertical or horizontal • Bars are of uniform width and uniformly spaced • Length of bars represent value of variable being displayed • Graph has title, labels for each bar and scale for length of bar

  2. Data for Bar Graph A recent study on Bronze Age spearheads recovered from ancient rivers in Ireland provided the following information (see 2.2#6):

  4. Other Types of Charts • A Pareto chart is a bar graph in which the bar height represents the frequency of an event. In addition, the bars are arranged from left to right according to decreasing height. • In a circle graph (or pie chart), wedges of a circle display proportional parts of the total population that share a common characteristic.

  6. Time Series Graphs • In a time series graph, data are plotted in order of occurrence in regular intervals over a period of time. • Time series data consists of measurements of the same variable for the same subject taken at regular intervals over a period of time.
