|How will you present your findings? Will you use tables, graphs
or both? What sort of table or graph is most appropriate?| One
of the most powerful ways to communicate data is by using
graphs. Data presented in a graph can be quick and easy to
understand. A graph should: Ambiguity can be reduced by - be
simple and not too cluttered - show data without changing the
data’s meaning - show any trend or differences in the data - be
accurate in a visual sense – for example, if one value is 15 and
another 30, then 30 should be twice the size of 15 It is
important that you give each graph a heading. Axes must be
labelled and any scale must have equal intervals. A key should
be included where it is needed to interpret the data. - avoiding
3D representations - avoiding broken or uneven scales Different
graphs are useful for different types of information and it is
important that the right graph for the type of data is selected.
