Answer» Correct answer is (a) Continuous- Scatter plot/line, Clumped- Histogram Explanation: HISTOGRAM : Histograms are similar to bar graphs except the data represented in histogram is usually in groups of continuous numerical (quantitative) data. In this case, the bars do touch. Histograms are often used to show frequency data. Example- Average mean temperature between the years 1900 and 2000 SCATTER- PLOT: The points are plotted on the grid, but they are not joined point to point. A best fit line may be added to a scatter plot to show a trend. Line graphs are only used when both variables are quantitative. These graphs are useful for showing if a correlation exists between two variables, especially when it is not possible to alter either of the variables (i.e. in descriptive studies). Example – Reaction rate at various enzyme concentrations. |
