Charts, Graphs, and Diagrams

Spreadsheets and Graphs are used for analyzing and comparing data. They help make data mor understandable and more interesting to look at. Different types of graphs are used because there are many different type of  data. It all depends on what the data is and what it is talking about. You can use any of these type of charts if they go hand in hand with your present data. Charts, graphs and diagrams are also used to analyze and compare data visually. It is easier to read charts than try to read text data. An example of how i would use charts outside of school is a Survey of your favorite foods. I would go off and survey 100 studenst from each grade in HHS. After i get my results, i would take my data and put it in a Pie Graph.
