Interpreting Charts
Line Graph
Line
graphs are used to track changes over short and long periods of time. When
smaller changes exist, line graphs are better to use than bar graphs. Line
graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for
more than one group.
Bar Graph
Bar graphs are used to compare things between different groups or to track changes over time. However, when trying to measure change over time, bar graphs are best when the changes are larger.
Circle Graph
Pie charts are best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole. They do not show changes over time.
Donut Chart
Donut Charts are same as Circle or Pie Chart with a hole in the middle.
