When should you use a bar chart and when should you use a line graph?

You should use a bar chart when you have a categoric or an ordered independent variable and a continuous dependent variable. You should use a line graph when you have continuous data E.g continuous dependent. So if you wanted to show individual totals like sales for each month of the year, each could be a separate bar. You could use a line chart to show how changes are on a continuous basis.


Is a thermometer changing categoric or continuous?

A thermometer is measuring a continuous variable because it can take on any value within a certain range, indicating a quantitative measurement of temperature.


Is the dependent variable discrete or continuous?

It can be either.


What are the different kinds of variables?

The main ones you need to know on a basic level are categoric and continuous. Categoric ones you will display on a bar chart as they are fixed units. Eg plastic or a range of no.s lumped in togetherContinuous variables are shown on a line graph as they do not have a differentiating X value (category) into which you can separate themHope this helps a bitThe three different kids of science variables are independent, dependent, and controlled.a variable is something you change and there's a independent variable and a dependent variablein an experiment there are three variables: responding, controlled, and manipulated. manipulated is the variable that is changed by the guy who does the experiment. responding is the variable that changes due to the manipulated variable. the controlled variable is the variable that is controlled throughout the experiment. anyway im not sure if this is what you wanted to know


What are the 3 types of variable?

the three (3) types of variables are: - controlled - manipulated - responding.

What is difference between continuous and ordinal variable?

A continuous variable is one which can take any numerical value over some interval. An ordinal variable is one that can take non-numerical or categoric values which can be put into some logical order but where the difference between successive categories cannot be quantified. One example may be Small-Medium-Large, or a popular one among opinion pollsters: Disagree Strongly-Disagree-Agree-Agree Strongly.


Is a continuous variable the same as a dependent variable?

definitely not. Dependant variable is a variable that you measure . A controlled variable is something that you keep the same in the experiment.


What is the difference of a dependent variable and an independent variable?

An independent variable is when you do not control what happens In an experiment,however; a dependent variable is when you actually control the experiment,


What is the difference of independent variable and a dependent variable?

How many variables does a t test measure?

A t-test typically measures two variables: one categorical independent variable with two levels (groups) and one continuous dependent variable. It assesses whether there is a statistically significant difference in the means of the continuous variable between the two groups.


Difference between independent and dependent?

independent variable is the one you control. the dependent variable depends on the indepdendent variable (the results). on the graph independent in on the bottom and dependent is on the side
