Razel's scribepost for September

Question 8:

The table shows the decibel levels of different sounds in the environment.












a) Use a bar graph to display the data. What is one advantage of using a bar graph?

A bar graph shows an comparison of sound levels.











b) Could you use a line graph to display that data?

No, Because the data are not a comparison over a period of time, a line graph would not be a good choice of graph.


c) Could you use a circle graph to display the data? Explain.

A pictograph could be used, but it would not be as good as a bar graph because of the fractions of pictures need to represent these data.

Good job on your scribe post.

Hi Razel

Mr Montgomery here. I teach maths to kids your age in Perth Western Australia.

Thanks for taking the time to write in your blog. I'm sure Mr Harbeck appreciates it.

Its a great post. But give a bit more thought to circle graphs. Are you sure circle graphs and pictographs are the same thing?

I'm not clear on why you wouldn;t use a circle graph to represent this data.

Well done Razel - its good that you know a line graph can't be used for categories (discrete) but only for continuous data. I am reading your post from Westen Australia
