PRESENTATION

What is Graphical
Presentation?
• Graphical representation of data is an attractive method of showcasing
numerical data that help in analyzing and representing quantitative data
visually.
• A graph is a kind of a chart where data are plotted as variables across the
coordinate.
• Using graph it becomes easy to analyze the extent of change of one variable
based on the change of other variables.
• Graphical representation of data is done through different mediums such as
lines, plots, diagrams, etc.
General Rules for Graphical
Representation of Data
• Suitable Title: Make sure that the appropriate title is given
to the graph which indicates the subject of the presentation.
• Measurement Unit: Mention the measurement unit in the
graph.
• Proper Scale: To represent the data in an accurate manner,
choose a proper scale.
• Index: Index the appropriate colors, shades, lines, design in
the graphs for better understanding.
• Data Sources: Include the source of information wherever it
is necessary at the bottom of the graph.
• Keep it Simple: Construct a graph in an easy way that
everyone can understand.
• Neat: Choose the correct size, fonts, colors etc in such a way
that the graph should be a visual aid for the presentation of
information.
Advantages
•Attractive and impressive
•Simple and save time
•Can study and compare more than one variable
•Helpful in prediction for even less literate
people.
•Universal utility
•No need of mathematical knowledge
•It shows the whole and huge data in an instance.
Disadvantages
•Misuse is possible
•Less accurate
•Limited Application
•Problem to select a suitable method
•More time
