• What are the main types of tables used to present data?

  Data, summary, comparison
• What is the primary purpose of a comparison table?

  Highlight data differences
• What do column headings in a well-designed table explain?

  Data in each column
• Why is consistent formatting important in a well-designed table?

  Increases understanding
• What type of chart uses bars to compare categories or groups?

  Bar chart
• Which type of chart plots data points as individual dots on a grid?

  Scatter plot
• What is the primary use of bar charts?

  Comparing discrete values
• What type of chart is used to identify relationships between two variables?

  Scatter plot
• Match the chart type with its use case:

  Bar Chart ↔️ Comparing categories

  Line Graph ↔️ Showing trends over time

  Pie Chart ↔️ Visualizing proportions

  Scatter Plot ↔️ Identifying relationships
• Comparison tables allow side-by-side comparison of data to highlight differences.

  True
• What is the purpose of a table title in a well-designed table?

  Communicates the table's purpose
• Why is consistent formatting important in a well-designed table?

  Enhances readability and clarity
• Pie charts are used to illustrate parts of a whole
• To construct a pie chart, you first calculate the percentages for each category
• Line graphs are used to show trends over time
• When interpreting a table or chart, it is important to examine column headings and row labels
• Summary tables offer totals, averages, and key metrics
• Line graphs show trends over time
• Steps to interpret tables and charts

  1️⃣ Read the title

  2️⃣ Examine headings and labels

  3️⃣ Note the units

  4️⃣ Identify trends and patterns

  5️⃣ Compare data points

  Scatter plot ↔️ Identifying relationships
• How does a pie chart divide a circle to represent data?

  Into proportional slices
• Bar charts are ideal for comparing discrete values
• Scatter plots help identify relationships between two variables
• A data table displays raw data in rows and columns
• Arrange the table types by their primary function:

  1️⃣ Data table: Presents raw data

  2️⃣ Summary table: Condenses data into metrics

  3️⃣ Comparison table: Highlights differences
• Row labels in a table identify the entities or categories being represented.

  True
• Summary tables are ideal for presenting detailed numerical data.

  False
• A line graph is best suited for displaying trends over time.


  True
• Bar charts are effective for visualizing part-to-whole relationships.

  False
• Line graphs are used to show trends over time
• The choice of chart depends on the nature of the data and the purpose of the visualization
• What is the primary purpose of a data table?

  Presenting detailed numerical data
• Match the table type with its function:

  Data Table ↔️ Displays raw data

  Summary Table ↔️ Condenses data into metrics

  Comparison Table ↔️ Enables easy contrast
• Column headings in a table provide descriptive labels for the data in each column
• What type of chart is best for displaying trends over time?

  Line chart
• Scatter plots are used to explore relationships between two variables.


  True
• When creating a scatter plot, you label the x and y axes with variable names.
