    The document provides information about data tables and graphs. It defines key terms like independent and dependent variables. It discusses using data from an example about floating boat experiments to create different types of graphs like pie charts, bar graphs, and line graphs. Examples of each graph type are given and guidelines are provided for properly labeling graphs and choosing the best fit line.

    Data Table & Graphing Notes

    What is a data table?

    Example
    Boat lab data table:
    Group # of
    pennies
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    Terminology

    Variable:

    Independent variable:

    Dependent variable:

    Look at the float your boat data.

    Which is the independent variable?

    The dependent variable?

    How do you know?

    Why graph?

    Types of graphs

    Pie chart Bar graph/histogram Line graph/Scatterplot


    Look at the pie charts that have been handed out with your group and develop a list of
    requirements that all pie charts should have in the space below.

    Look at the bar graphs that have been handed out with your group and develop a list of
    requirements that all bar graphs should have in the space below.

    Look at the line graphs that have been handed out with your group and develop a list of
    requirements that all line graphs should have in the space below.
    Lets try it

    Use the data below to create a scatterplot and then find the relationship between the variables by
    drawing a line of best fit.

    Relationship of Braking Distance to the Speed of a Car

    Speed Braking Distance


    (km/h) (m)
    30 6.0
    40 10.5
    50 16.5
    60 23.5
    70 32.0
    80 42.0

    Practice:

    A clam farmer has been keeping records concerning water temperature and the number of clams
    developing from fertilized eggs. He has been adjusting the water temperature in the clam tank and then
    checking on the developing clams. The results are shown in the data table below.
    1. What is the independent variable?
    Water Number of
    Temperature in oC developing clams
    15 75
    20 90 2. What is the dependent variable?
    25 120
    30 140
    35 75 3. Plot the data in the space provided below. Make
    40 40 sure the variables are on the correct axis. Label
    45 15 the axes & make a title. Draw a curved line of best
    50 0 fit through the data.

    4. According to your graph, what is the optimal temperature for clam development?
