Multiple Bar Graph

נניח שרוצים להשוות את מספר הסטודנטים והסטודנטיות הלומדים בקורסים שונים – סטטיסטיקה, ביולוגיה, פיזיקה וכימיה. השוואה כזו של ערכות נתונים עם קטגוריות שונות מוצגת באמצעות גרף עמודות מרובות. 
כאן, הגרף מכיל שתי קבוצות של עמודות המופרדות ברווח כדי לציין שתי קבוצות נתונים.
במקרה זה, הפסים השחורים מציינים את מספר הסטודנטים הגברים, והעמודות הכחולות מייצגות את מספר הסטודנטיות. 
קבוצת העמודות הראשונה מציינת חמישה סטודנטים וארבע סטודנטיות הרשומים לסטטיסטיקה; הקבוצה השנייה מציינת שלושה גברים וחמש סטודנטיות הרשומים לביולוגיה וכן הלאה. 
בתרשימי העמודות המרובים, ניתן להוסיף כל מספר עמודות תחת קטגוריות שונות, בהתאם למספר הנתונים הנתון.
תרשימי עמודות מרובים עוזרים להשוות ולנתח דפוסים בין מספר קטגוריות. מגרף עמודות זה, ניתן לענות בקלות על שאלות כגון באיזה יום נרשמה המכירה הגבוהה ביותר של תפוחים או איזה פרי הוא הפופולרי ביותר.

גרף עמודות מרובות

<div style="direction:rtl">
כפי שהשם מרמז, גרף עמודות מרובות זהה לגרף עמודות אך יש לו עמודות מרובות לתאר יחסים בין ערכי נתונים שונים. אפשר לכלול כמה שיותר פרמטרים. עם זאת, לכל פרמטר חייבת להיות אותה יחידת מדידה.

כל עמודה או שורה בתרשים העמודות המרובות מייצגות ערך נתונים. גרפים אלה משמשים בעיקר בחיבור בין שתי קבוצות או יותר של נתונים. הקטגוריות של סוגים שונים של נתונים רשומות לאורך ציר האופקי או ה-x, ואילו השכיחות רשומה לאורך הציר האנכי או ה-y. לדוגמה, חשבו על השוואת שישה תלמידים בהתבסס על הציונים שלהם בארבעה מקצועות, למשל, פיזיקה, כימיה, ביולוגיה וסטטיסטיקה, אם כך, צריך לצייר ארבעה פסים שונים עבור כל תלמיד. בהתאם לגבהים של העמודות, הנתונים מנותחים ומשווים.

למרות שגרף העמודות המרובות משמש ברוב המקרים ההתייחסותיים, יש לו כמה חסרונות, למשל, לעתים קרובות הוא דורש הסבר נוסף ואינו מצליח לחשוף הנחות מפתח, סיבות, השפעות ודפוסים. לפעמים, ניתן לתמרן אותו בקלות והוא עלול ליצור רושם שגוי.

comparing data with multiple bar graphs

A multiple bar graph compares two or more sets of data with grouped bars. It works like a bar graph, but it uses several bars to show related values side by side. Each bar or column stands for one data value.

This graph is useful when the data share the same unit of measurement. You can include many parameters, as long as they use that same unit. The categories are placed on the horizontal x-axis, and the frequency is shown on the vertical y-axis.

Multiple bar graphs are used mainly to relate and compare data sets. For example, six students can be compared by their marks in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Statistics. In that case, four bars are drawn for each student, and the bar heights help show the differences in marks.

These graphs can help with quick data comparison, but they also have limits. They often need extra explanation, and they do not clearly show assumptions, causes, impacts, or patterns. In some cases, they can also be manipulated and give a false impression.

Descriptive Statistics and Graphs

Descriptive statistics help summarize data with numbers and graphs. Data are individual pieces of information collected from a population or a sample. They can be qualitative, which means categorical, or quantitative, which includes continuous and discrete data. In many studies, researchers do not measure every member of a population. Instead, they use a sample to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group chosen so that each individual has an equal chance of being...

what is a frequency distribution

Reading Frequency Tables and Histograms

Frequency distributions organize quantitative data by showing how often each value appears. A frequency is the number of times a data value occurs. When the frequency values are added together, the total equals the number of students in the sample. These distributions are useful for grouping numerical data into clear patterns. They can be shown in a table, histogram, line graph, dot plot, or pie chart. A histogram displays tabulated frequencies as adjacent rectangles over discrete intervals,...

construction of frequency distribution

Building a Frequency Table from Data

A frequency distribution table organizes data by showing how often each value appears. It starts with two columns: one for the data labels and one for frequency. A third column for tally marks can be added if needed. The next step is to look at the data set and decide whether an ungrouped frequency distribution table or a grouped frequency distribution table is more suitable. If the data includes a large set of different values, a grouped frequency distribution table is the better choice. This...

relative frequency distribution

Relative Frequency in Data Tables

Relative frequency distribution shows how often each value or class appears in a data set as a fraction of the whole. To find a relative frequency, divide each class frequency by the total number of data points in the sample. The result can be written as a fraction, decimal, or percent. This type of distribution is very similar to a regular frequency distribution. The same data are grouped in classes, and the same rules are used to build those classes. The main difference is in the way the...

percentage frequency distribution

Survey Data as Percentage Frequencies

Survey data can be shown as percentage frequencies to display how observations are spread across each data point or group. This format shows the share of the total for each response or category. It is a common way to present relative frequency in survey results and other data. Percentage frequency distributions are often displayed as bar graphs, pie charts, or tables. These displays make it easier to compare groups and see how much each category contributes to the whole. They are useful...

cumulative frequency distribution

Building a Cumulative Frequency Table

A cumulative frequency distribution shows how data build up across class intervals. Instead of counting only the values in one class, it counts the values in that class and in every class to its left. It is a useful way to track how data accumulate as the table progresses. A cumulative frequency is found by adding the frequency of each class lower than the class interval or category being studied. In other words, each new total includes the current class and the frequencies from the lower...

ogive graph

Cumulative Frequency Graph for Medians

An ogive graph is a cumulative frequency graph used in statistics. It is also called a cumulative frequency polygon. Instead of showing each class on its own, it adds the cumulative percentages from left to right. An ogive graph plots cumulative frequency on the vertical y-axis and class boundaries on the horizontal x-axis. It looks similar to a histogram, but it uses single points instead of rectangles. Each point appears where the top right corner of a histogram bar would be. This graph is...

histogram

Reading Data Patterns with Histograms

A histogram shows how data is distributed in a data set. It uses an x-y graph to display the pattern of the data. The x-axis is labeled with what the data represents, such as distance from home to school. The y-axis shows frequency, relative frequency, percent frequency, or probability. A histogram is made of adjoining bars. The height of each bar matches the frequency value for that class. Even with different labels, the graph keeps the same overall shape. Like a stemplot, a histogram can...

relative frequency histogram

Reading Relative Frequency in Histograms

A relative frequency histogram shows how data are spread across classes using percentages instead of counts. The relative frequency tells the proportion of data points in each value or class. The frequency tells the number of data points in each value or class. This graph has the same overall shape as a histogram. It uses a horizontal scale on the x-axis, and it marks the y-axis with relative frequencies, which are percentages of the whole. Each bar shows how many data values fall into a...

scatter plot

Reading Relationships in a Scatter Plot

A scatter plot shows the relationship between two variables, x and y. It is one of the easiest ways to display how the variables are connected. The graph can show the direction of the relationship. It can also show whether the points suggest a clear pattern or little pattern at all. A clear direction appears when high values of one variable go with high values of the other variable. It can also appear when low values of one variable go with low values of the other variable. Another pattern...

time-series graph

Reading Trends with Time-Series Graphs

A time-series graph shows repeated measurements taken at successive intervals of time. It is also called a time series chart. This type of line graph helps organize data that changes over time. To build a time-series graph, use both parts of a paired data set. Plot the time increments on the horizontal axis. Plot the measured values on the vertical axis. Each point then shows one time and one quantity, and the points are usually connected with straight lines in the order they occur. <br...

bar graph

Comparing Categories with Bar Charts

A bar graph, also called a bar chart, compares categories with separate bars. The bars may be horizontal or vertical. Each bar stands apart so the viewer can compare groups clearly.

multiple bar graph

A multiple bar graph compares two or more sets of data with grouped bars. It works like a bar graph, but it uses several bars to show related values side by side. Each bar or column stands for one data value. This graph is useful when the data share the same unit of measurement. You can include many parameters, as long as they use that same unit. The categories are placed on the horizontal x-axis, and the frequency is shown on the vertical y-axis. Multiple bar graphs are used mainly to relate...

pareto chart

Pareto Chart for Ranking Data

A Pareto chart is a bar graph used to rank data by size or frequency. It can also combine bars with a line graph. In the chart, the bar lengths show the individual values or how often each category appears, and the line shows the cumulative total. The bars are arranged from longest on the left to shortest on the right. This order makes the data easier to read and interpret. A Pareto chart is also called a Pareto diagram or Pareto analysis. The chart is named after the Italian economist...

pie chart

Pie Chart Data and Percentages

A pie chart shows categorical data in a circular graph. It is divided into slices, and each slice shows a numerical proportion. This makes it easy to compare the relative size of parts in one chart. In a pie chart, the central angle, the arc length of each slice, and the area are directly proportional to the quantity or percentage it represents. That means larger values take up larger slices. Smaller values take up smaller slices. Pie charts are useful for real-world data such as marks...

Ecosystems
• Equilibrium and disequilibrium
• Carrying capacity

Content elaboration: Ecosystems change as geological and biological conditions vary due to natural and anthropogenic factors. Like many complex systems, ecosystems have cyclical fluctuations around a state of equilibrium. The rate of these fluctuations in ecosystems can increase due to anthropogenic factors. Changes in ecosystems may lead to disequilibrium, which can be seen in variations in carrying capacities for many species. Authentic data are used to study the rate of change in matter and energy relationships, population dynamics, carbon and nitrogen cycling, population changes and growth within an ecosystem. Graphs, charts, histograms and algebraic thinking are used to explain concepts of carrying capacity of populations and homeostasis within ecosystems by investigating changes in populations that occur locally or regionally. Mathematical models can include the exponential growth model and the logistic growth model. The simplest version of the logistic growth model is Population Growth Rate=rN(K-N)/K, which incorporates the biological concept of limited (non-infinite) carrying capacity, based upon intra- and interspecies competition for resources such as food, as represented by the variable K. Carrying capacity is defined as the population equilibrium size when births and deaths are equal; hence Population Growth Rate = zero.

Loss of diversity
• Climate change
• Anthropocene effects
• Extinction
• Invasive species

Content elaboration: An ecosystem will maintain equilibrium with small fluctuations in its abiotic and biotic components, but significant fluctuations can result in long-term alterations of the ecosystem and ultimately a loss of biodiversity. This can be caused by natural and anthropogenic events. Humans are a biotic factor in ecosystems and can impact critical variables within these systems. Climate is dependent on a number of feedback loops between sunlight, the ocean, the atmosphere and the biosphere. Increasing mean global temperatures cause increased variance in weather that impacts both biotic and abiotic factors. Multiple changes happening simultaneously can stress ecosystems. Extreme events such as prolonged drought, floods, or the introduction or removal of species can result in long-term alterations to ecosystems and their functions. The current rate of extinction is at least 100-1000 times the average background rate observed in the fossil record. The observed rates of biodiversity loss are indicative of a severe and pervasive disequilibrium in ecosystems. At the high school level, students should examine the factors that contribute to the accelerated extinction rates observed today and the implications of declining biodiversity carrying capacity. Misconceptions about population growth capacity, interspecies and intraspecies competition for resources, and what occurs when members of a species immigrate to or emigrate from ecosystems are included in this topic. Technology can be used to access real-time/authentic data to study population changes and growth in specific locations.
