4.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 44.02 Types of Charts4Column ChartA Column Chart is used to make comparisons and generalizations about groups of data.

such as, to compare the number of students from each class (Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors) and their attendance and school spirit at assemblies.

A Column Chart is a series of vertical chartcolumns, each representative of a data series.4.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 5

4.02 Types of Charts54.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 6Column Chart

This chart compares the attendance rates/school spirit of Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores at assemblies over a period of four months.School Spirit at AssembliesWhich group has the most consistent school spirit? The Sophomores have the most consistent attendance/school spirit, as evidenced by the green bars.4.02 Types of Charts6Which group attends assemblies most consistently? The sophomores have the most consistent attendance as evidenced by the green bars.Which group attends the assemblies most inconsistently? The seniors. Their attendance increases in January and February, shows a dramatic increase in March, and declines by more than half in April.4.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 7Compare4.02 Types of Charts7Slide 8Stacked Bar

This chart focuses more on each groups contribution to the whole for any given month.4.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.4.02 Types of Charts8Slide 9Line

This chart would be okay if we were analyzing trends in attendance rates, but it does not provide a good side-by-side comparison.4.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.4.02 Types of Charts9Slide 10XY Scatter

This chart is trying to determine if there is a correlation between the month and the attendance rate.4.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.4.02 Types of Charts10Slide 11Pie

Finally, this chart is useless for representing the data because it only allows for one data series.4.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.4.02 Types of Charts11Stacked Bar ChartA Stacked Bar Chart is used to represent the sum of more than one value and compare the contribution of individuals to the whole.

such as, to compare the total sales for three components/departments to the whole sales for a store.

A Bar or a Stacked Bar Chart is a series of horizontal bars, each representative of a data series.Each bar is divided into two or more parts The length of the stacked bar represents a total.4.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 12

Another Stacked Bar Chart example:Question: The CTE Dept. has received test scores for the first semester. The Dept. chair wants to see how each area (Business, Marketing, Technology) contributed to the combined score.What is the best chart type to use?

Answer: Stacked Bar Chart

4.02 Types of Charts134.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 14Stacked Bar This example shows the contributions of three components--Computers, Printers, and Monitors--to total sales during each quarter (three-month period).

4.02 Types of Charts14The components are displayed in the order presented in the spreadsheet. What was the total sales for the first quarter? About $18,000How much did printer sales contribute to the total sales for the first quarter? $5,000How would you determine the percent of sales for printers to the total sales for the first quarter?4.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 15Compare4.02 Types of Charts154.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 16Column

This chart does not accurately represent the contributions of each part to the whole and is instead comparing them against each other.4.02 Types of Charts164.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 17Line

What about this chart? Can you clearly identify each components contribution to the whole?4.02 Types of Charts174.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 18XY Scatter

Why does this chart not work?4.02 Types of Charts184.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 19Pie

This chart only looks at one department.4.02 Types of Charts19Line ChartA Line Chart is used to show trends or changes in data over time.

such as, growth in sales over several quarters.

A Line Chart is a series of data points connected by horizontal lines, each representing a series of data.

Question: The CTE Dept. Chair is reviewing test scores and wants to see the trends of the scores of students in these 3 areas (Business, Marketing, Technology) for the past 5 years.

What is the best chart type to use?

Answer: Line Chart

Another Line Chart example4.02 Types of Charts214.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 22Line Chart Which department showed the most growth? Which department showed a steady increase in sales? Which department showed a decline in sales?

To analyze the trends in this chart, the reader must read each data series separately and then make comparisons and generalizations. However, in the previous Line Chart, trends were clearly and quickly analyzed just by looking at the lines.4.02 Types of Charts244.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 25Stacked Bar

Does this chart describe trends?4.02 Types of Charts254.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 26Pie

The pie chart fails to present all of the data.4.02 Types of Charts26 XY Scatter An XY Scatter Chart is used to indicate the correlation of two or more sets of data.such as, the correlation between stress rates and wait time in a doctors office.or the correlation between pulse rates and wait time in the principals office.

A business example of an XY Chart is one that represents the effect (if any) of caffeine on worker productivity.

4.02 Types of Charts274.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 28XY ScatterWhat effect did the wait time in the principals office have on pulse rate?What effect did the wait time in the doctors office have on pulse rate?

This data is fictional.4.02 Types of Charts284.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 29Compare4.02 Types of Charts294.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 30Column

As you can see, if this chart is used, the data is confusing and not easily interpreted.4.02 Types of Charts304.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 31Stacked Bar

This chart is also hard to interpret.4.02 Types of Charts314.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 32Pie

The pie chart, once again, is clearly not the preferred chart for representing and communicating the data!4.02 Types of Charts32 Pie ChartA Pie Chart is used to represent only one series of data.A Pie Chart shows the contribution of each component of one series of data to the whole.such as, the percentage (%) of each expenditure to the total budgetthe % of each investment type in a portfolioIt answers the question, What is the percentage of each part to the whole?4.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 33

4.02 Types of Charts334.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 34Pie ChartWhich item contributed the most percent to total sales?

4.02 Types of Charts34Exploded Pie ChartAn Exploded Pie Chart is a pie chart in which the individual components are enhanced.It is used to emphasize one or more portions of the data (one piece of the pie is enhanced).4.02 Understand charts/graphs used in business.Slide 35
