Jeremy and Shian graphed data from four sources: X-games attendance from 1994-2002 using a scatter plot; top artists' number of #1 hits on MTV using a bar graph; iTunes downloads of songs over time using a line graph; and comic book sales percentages using a pie chart. They chose these visualizations because scatter plots show trends easily, bar graphs clearly show amounts, line graphs track changes over time, and pie charts represent percentages.

7.  We chose a scatter plot chart for x-games
because it shows the information in an easier
way to read.
 We chose a bar graph for MTV because it is
easier to read, it shows which artist had the
most number one hits.
 We chose a line graph for iTunes because it
shows how many people downloaded that
song in a better way.
 We chose a pie chart for the Comic Book
because It shows the percent of each book.

8.  A pie chart is a graph that represents 100%
 A bar graph is used to graph data, the taller the
bar, the greater number of times the value
occurs.
 A line graph is used to plot changes in data
over time.
 A scatter plot is used to show trends in data.
