Line, bar and Pie graphs Name Institution 1 Introduction Businesses report research reports regularly Business mostly use bar, line and pie graphs to present data Graphs are visual representation of data Graphs make the information easy to understand Graphs help in incorporating numerical data in reports Makes numerical data easy to read and understand Presentation reviews the bar, line and pie graphs Business present reports on a regular basis. One common feature in business reports is colorful graphics used to convey information in an easy to understand manner. The graphs help to describe something about the business such as describing the sales of a company in the last ten weeks. Numerical data is hard to understand for most people but presenting them in graphs makes it easier to digest and understand. A graph can be defined as a visual representation of data. Representing information and numerical data in graphs makes it easy to understand for people who are not mathematically savvy. Some of the graphs commonly used by businesses and discussed in this presentation are line, bar and pie graphs. 2 Line graph Line graphs represent data that change with time, which helps in showing the manner in which data changes with time. it also helps in comparing two different types of information by showing the manner n which they are similar of differ. The graph above shows the sales per month for various six models for six months. The labels on the vertical axis indicate the number of units sold by various car model manufacturers. The labels on the horizontal axis is the months during which the data was recorded. Therefore, this line graph presents the data for car models sold between January and June. The graph uses line with different colors with each color representing each model. For instance, the red color represents the Toyota Camry car model. The sales for Honda Accord during the month of February is 20,000 units. 3 Bar graphs The bar graph is similar to the line graph only that the bar graph only that this type of graphs uses horizontal or vertical bars that represent a different value. Bar graphs also helps in comparing things between different groups of tracking changes that occur over time. Each bar graph represents a separate quantity. The bar graph measures the units sales (in thousands) of a company between the fiscal years of 2014 to 2018. The labels on the vertical axis indicates that the vertical axis represents the units of sales made by the company. The labels of the horizontal axis shows that the horizontal axis represents the fiscal years during which the data was collected. 4 Pie graph The pie graph is a graphical presentation of data as proportionally sized slices using percentage values. The graph shows the sizes of parts of some total quantity at a specific time. The pie graph above measures the percentages of the Nissan Leaf car model newly registered in various European countries b ...
