How do you represent categorical data graphically?
One way to represent categorical data is on a bar graph, where the height of the bar can represent the frequency or relative frequency of each choice. The graphs below represent the marital status information from the one categorical example.
How do you visualize nominal data?
Use pie charts to display nominal variables (not ordinal variables). Pie charts are also ideal if you want to show differences within groups based on one variable. Use pie charts with a subset of categories that make up a whole when combined. Review if your data adds up to 100 percent.
What type of graph is used for nominal data?
Bar charts are used for nominal or categorical data.
What type of graph is used for discontinuous data?
We usually us a bar chart for discontinuous variation data: We usually us a line graph for continuous variation data: This means that living things will naturally show variation (they will be different to each other).
