What is a data graph?

A visual representation of information, showing relationships between variables.

Types of graphs on the SAT

Bar graphs, line graphs, pie charts, and tables are commonly used.

True or false: Graphs always have a title.

True, because a title indicates what the graph represents.

Function of the x-axis

Represents the independent variable in a graph.

Function of the y-axis

Represents the dependent variable in a graph.

Difference between pie chart and bar graph

Pie charts show parts of a whole, while bar graphs compare quantities.

What is a line graph?

A graph that uses points connected by lines to show trends over time.

Fill in the blank: The area of a pie chart represents _____

The proportion of each category to the whole.

What do bar graphs compare?

Bar graphs compare different categories of data.

True or false: Line graphs can represent non-linear data.

False, because line graphs typically show linear relationships.

Interpret the slope in a line graph

The slope indicates the rate of change between variables.

What is a trend line?

A line that best represents the data points in a graph.

True or false: Axes must be labeled.

True, because labels clarify the data being presented.

Bar graph vs. histogram

Bar graphs use spaces between bars; histograms do not.

What does a legend in a graph do?

It explains the symbols or colors used in the graph.

Which axis usually shows time?

The x-axis typically represents time in graphs.

What is a scatter plot?

A graph that displays values for typically two variables for a set of data.

Identify the dependent variable

The variable that responds to changes in the independent variable.

Fill in the blank: The scale on a graph must be _____

Consistent to accurately represent data.

True or false: Graphs can mislead if poorly designed.

True, because unclear graphs can distort data interpretation.

What is the purpose of a graph title?

To summarize the main idea or data being represented.

Difference between qualitative and quantitative data

Qualitative data describes characteristics; quantitative data includes numbers.

What does a steep slope indicate?

A steep slope shows a rapid change in the dependent variable.

What is a categorical variable?

A variable that can be divided into categories but not measured numerically.
