1 What Is Data?: Ans II and IV

1 What is data?
I. Computer readable information

II. Information collected about the physical world
III. Programs that process images
IV. Graphs and charts
 II and IV
 I and II
 I, II, and IV
 I, II, III, and IV
Ans = II and IV
2 Which of the following statements is true about data visualizations?

 Visualizing data has only been possible since computers have become widespread.
 Visualizations take many forms, from tables to charts to images.
 There is always one exact visualization that should be used to show a particular aspect
of a dataset.
 The only way to extract information from data is by using a visualization.
Ans = visualization take many forms, from tables to charts to images.
3Which of the following statements are true about using visualizations to display a dataset?
I. Visualizations are visually appealing, but don’t help the viewer understand relationships that exist in the
data
II. Visualizations like graphs, charts, or visualizations with pictures are useful for conveying information,
while tables just filled with text are not useful.
III. Patterns that exist in the data can be found more easily by using a visualization
 I and II
 II and III
 III only
 I, II, and III
Ans = II and III
4 What is misleading about this visualization
 The Y Axis is upside down, so larger values are at the bottom and smaller values are
at the top
 The Y Axis is truncated and not labeled, making the larger bar appear 4 times as large
as the smaller bar when it’s really only a 7% increase
 The chart is omitting data from 2010
 The chart makes it seem like more people working full time causes more people to be
on welfare, when really the two might not be related
Ans = 1st
5 . Which of the following statements is an example of computer readable data?
 A handwritten note

cities
Ans = A handwritten note
6 Which type of graph is this?
 Histogram
 Bar Graph

Ans =Box plot
7 Which type of data does this graph represent
 Quantitative
 Categorical
Ans = categorical
8 What type of graph is this?

 Bar graph
 Histogram
 Pie Chart
 Stem Chart
Ans = pie chart
9A pie chart allows you to easily see
 information about the proportion of parts relative to the whole.

 the total number of each category.
 how much data occurs within a range of numbers.
 the spread of the data.
Ans = A

Box Plot
 Box Plot
 Bar Graph
 Dot Plot
 Stem graph
Ans = stem graph

 Dot plot

Ans = Box plot
12 Which graph would be the best to represent categorical data?
 Pie Chart
 Dot Plot
 Stem Plot
 Box Plot
Ans = pie chart
13 Which graph would be best to represent quantitative data?
 Pie Chart
 Histogram
Ans = Histogram
14The graph which shows the changes over a specific time period is called
1. meridian graph
2. pie graph
3. line graph
4. bar graph
Ans = line graph
15 The vertical axis of bar graph is also known as
1. y-axis
2. h-axis
3. v-axis
4. x-axis
Ans = y- axis
16Considering the line graph, the x-axis represents
1. false energy units

2. infrared energy units
3. subject of measurement
4. time period
Ans = time period
17 Considering the line graph, the y-axis represents
1. time period in years

2. subject of measurement
3. time period in days
4. time period in minutes
Ans = subject to measurement
18 The horizontal axis of bar graph is also known as
1. v-axis
2. x-axis
3. y-axis
4. h-axis
Ans = x-axis
19 What is an axis?

 timeline
Ans = data
23Thisbar graph is an example of a data visualization technique. How

many categories are represented in this bar graph?
 40
 6
 0
 5
Ans = 6
24 Which of the following is a best practice for selecting an appropriate

data visualization technique?
 Collect, organize, and analyze
