Which combination is true in respect of using a graph/chart? (A) Quicker and easier to create a chart immediately to see the possible relationship of variables to one another, rather than paging through raw data. (B) Provide information in as little time as possible. (C) Graphs do not have the ability to take large amounts of information and make them into exhibitions that are easily used to persuade (D) A graph may be either a single line graph or a multi-line graph. |
(A), (B) and (D) only (A), (B) and (C) only (A), (C) and (D) only (B), (C) and (D) only |
(A), (B) and (D) only |
The correct answer is option 1- (A), (B) and (D) only. (A) Quicker and easier to create a chart immediately to see the possible relationship of variables to one another, rather than paging through raw data. IT IS TRUE. Many times we would like to see if there is a relationship between variables. Suppose, that we wanted to determine if there is a relationship between: a country’s GNP and the infant mortality rate, between age and between genders. It may be quicker and easier to create a chart immediately to see the possible relationship of variables to one another, rather than paging through raw data. (B) Provide information in as little time as possible. IT IS TRUE. We want to provide information in as little time as possible. Graphing plays a key role. It seems that there is no longer any time to sit and read a newspaper in order to find out what is going on. However, newspapers, such as The Economics Times and India Today magazines (which were early users of charting techniques), seem to understand this phenomena and provide graphs to convey and sum up ideas that they are making in their articles (C) Graphs do not have the ability to take large amounts of information and make them into exhibitions that are easily used to persuade. IT IS NOT TRUE as graphs has the ability.. The same way that a graph can be used to present and explore different characteristics of data, it can also be used to convince. Graphs have the ability to take large amounts of information and make them into exhibitions that are easily used to persuade (D) A graph may be either a single line graph or a multi-line graph. IT IS TRUE. A graph is a pictorial representation of data. Graphs are usually 2-dimensional. Sometimes 3-dimensional graphs are also used. A graph may be either a single line graph or a multi-line graph. Multi-line in a graph are distinguished either by using different shapes of line or different shapes and colors. THUS, A , B & D ARE TRUE. |
