Bar Graphs

Bar graphs are used to display and compare data. The horizontal axis shows categories and the vertical axis shows amounts. A multiple bar graph includes a key.

Exercises

  1. Draw a bar graph for the data in the table below.

    York 89 101 102
    Rexford 88 92 93
    Onham 81 104 100
    1. Reasoning If one more column of data were added to the table in the example, how would the bar graph be different?
    2. If one more row of data were added to the table in the example, how would the bar graph be different?
