A statistical graph visually represents socio-economic data using geometric shapes and lines. It makes large amounts of data easier to understand by creating images of phenomena and allowing viewers to immediately spot trends and relationships. Graphs serve illustrative, control, and analytical functions, being used to characterize phenomena over time and space, study connections between variables, and compare statistical values. They must accurately reflect source data, be clear and easy to understand, and have an artistic design when possible.

2. A statistical graph is a conventional
representation of statistical values using lines,
geometric shapes, drawings, or schematic
geographic maps.
The main task of graphs is a visual
representation of the facts of socio-economic
phenomena.

3. make sex. the data are more visual (better perceived and
remembered), creating a ready-made image of the
phenomenon being investigated;
make it possible to immediately notice the peculiarities and
trends in the development of phenomena, as well as the
interrelationships between phenomena.
Advantages of the graphic method:
it is not possible to display as much data on the graph as the
table;
only whole or rounded numbers can be shown on the graph;
building a graph can be more time-consuming than building a
table.
Disadvantages of graphs:

4. Statistical graphs perform the following functions:
1) Illustrative.
2) Control room.
3) Analytical
Graphs are used for the following purposes:
- characteristics of the development of phenomena in time and space;
- characteristics of the structure of phenomena;
- study of the connection between signs;
- comparison of statistical values;
- economic and geographical characteristics of phenomena.

5. Basic requirements for statistical graphs:
• the graph must accurately reflect the initial data
presented in the table;
• the schedule must be clear, understandable and
easy to read;
• the schedule should be, if possible, artistically
designed.
