Note the scale in the graph above:
- The frequency scale begins at 74 and ends at 82. This is because the range of values being graphed are from 77 to 82. Since we want our smallest bar to have some height, we started the scale at 74.
- If you look at bar heights, it looks like the ratio is 2:1. However, if you use the actual values, the ratio is then 82:77, which is not 2:1.
- Direct comparison of bar heights can only be made when the scale begins at zero. So why not begin all scales at zero?
Note the scale in the graph above:
- The frequency scale with begins at zero.
- It is clear that the bars for Oct and Dec have nearly the same height. This means ratio of Oct. sales to Dec. sales is nearly 1:1
- Having all bars appear nearly the same height makes it difficult to analyze any trends that may exist or to look at differences between months.
Sometimes you need to make an arbitrary determination of the scale you choose to display on a graph. In all cases, you would find the greatest and least values to be displayed on your graph, then decide on an interval that would divide the range of numbers into a manageable size (e.g. 1, 10, 100, etc.), then start the lowest value one range below the least value of your data and end with the highest value one range above the greatest value of your data.

How can you make graphs with milliseconds?
Adjust the scale accordingly.
What is the meaning of scale for graphs?
I am not sure. somebody answer this question for me!
What three things must all graphs have?
All graphs must have a title, an axis, labels, intervals, and a scale. You can remember this using the acronym TAILS: title, axis, intervals, scale.
Why is it useful to use the same scale for two graphs?
It's is useful to use the same scale for two graphs because if you're comparing them then you want a "fair" measurement and you need a balanced and even scale as well.
Do all line graphs have a break in the scale?
Not always do they have a break.
Can line graphs go over 100?
It depends on 100 of what, but line graphs can have a scale greater than 100.
What are benefits of using graphs of frequency distribution?
to make patterns easier to determine
What scale is used to determine pH?
the pH scale
What scale is used to determine an earthquakes density?
The Richter Scale is used to determine the earthquake density. The scale is measured from low as 1 to high as 10.
What scale do you use to determine in the magnitude of an earthquake?
Ritcher Scale
What do you use to determine the weight of a rock A. Beaker B. Scale?
Scale.
