Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.6 Graphing Quantitative and Categorical Data skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

An investigation recorded algae growth in Tank A and Tank B over 10 days. Which graph type and scale would best display the results?

ACircle graph with one slice for each tank

BDouble line graph with x-axis 1 to 10 days by 2 and y-axis 0 to 80 cm2 by 10

CDouble bar graph with x-axis categories and y-axis 0 to 40 cm2 by 5

DDouble line graph with x-axis 1 to 10 days by 1 and y-axis 0 to 40 cm2 by 5

Solution & Explanation:Because the investigation compares how two quantitative data sets change over time, a double line graph is the clearest choice. The scale 0 to 40 cm2 by 5 includes the highest algae area and keeps the day intervals even.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A spring lab measured force and the matching stretch distance. Which graph type and scale would best display the relationship?

ABar graph with x-axis categories and y-axis 0 to 8 cm by 1

BScatter plot with x-axis 0 to 100 N by 20 and y-axis 0 to 40 cm by 5

CScatter plot with x-axis 0 to 20 N by 5 and y-axis 0 to 8 cm by 1

DLine graph with x-axis 0 to 20 N by 5 and y-axis 0 to 8 cm by 1

Solution & Explanation:Both variables are quantitative, so a scatter plot best shows the relationship. The scales cover the data range without wasting most of the graph space.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Average lizard body temperatures were recorded for three habitats. Which graph type and scale would best display the data?

AScatter plot with x-axis 0 to 3 habitats by 1 and y-axis 0 to 40 C by 5

BCircle graph with slices for each habitat

CLine graph with x-axis 1 to 3 by 1 and y-axis 0 to 40 C by 5

DBar graph with x-axis habitats and y-axis 0 to 40 C by 5

Solution & Explanation:Habitat is categorical and body temperature is quantitative, so a bar graph is the best display. A scale from 0 to 40 C by 5 includes all the values clearly.
