This document discusses choosing the right type of graph for different datasets. It provides examples of a pie chart showing iTunes download percentages, a bar graph of attendance numbers in different states, a scatter plot of weeks spent at number one for videos, and a line graph showing changing comic book sales over time. The analysis explains that a pie chart is best for percentage data, a bar graph for comparing amounts, a scatter plot for showing variation over time, and a line graph for trends over multiple data points.

6. ANALYSIS
 Pie Chart-I used the Pie Chart because the data is showing what iTunes are
getting used the most which is also dealing with percent.
 Bar Graph-I used a Bar Graph because my information is telling me the amount
of people in these states.
 Scatter Plot- I used a scatter Plot because my information on this graph was
showing videos that are top rated as number one and for how long and the weeks
varied.
 Line Graph- I used a Line Graph because my graph showed me how the
estimate sales changed over time for every Book title.

7. SUMMARY
 For my Pie Chart I found out the most downloads for ITunes. For
my Bar Graph I charted the attendance or amount of people in the
different states. My Scatter Plot is showing how our data varied as
weeks went on. My Line Graph shows how the comic book sales
changed as the title changed.
