Understanding Data and Data Interpretation

Pie Charts - Circular Data Representation

  • Pie charts represent data as parts of a circle where the circle represents 100%
  • Arc length, central angle, and area of each sector are proportional to the part it represents
  • Two approaches: Degree approach (360°) and Percentage approach (100%)
3

Bar Charts - Length-based Representation

  • Bar charts use rectangular bars with lengths proportional to values represented
  • More versatile than pie charts - can compare multiple variables
  • Length matters, not width of bars
4

Line Charts and Other Advanced Representations

  • Show trends and percentage changes more clearly
  • Can handle data with two different scales
