Step 1: When making a graph on graph paper, it is important to have graph paper with fine enough divisions to give you useful information from your graph. One acceptabletype of graph paper is Purdue Form F, available at the bookstores. Not acceptable graph paper includes pages out of your lab notebook or quad-rule paper (4 squares per inch).
Step 2: After selecting a suitable piece of paper, grab a ruler. It is time to draw your axes. You will need a y-axis (up and down) and an x-axis (side to side). Typically, but not always, these will intersect in the lower left corner of your graph paper. Graphs are always Y vs. X. For example a graph of mass vs. volume would have mass on the y-axis and volume on the x-axis.
Take a look at your data. One set of data probably spans a much larger range than the other. You will want to orient your graph paper so that the larger data set will be plotted on the long side of the paper. (Do not be afraid to turn your paper sideways. Your TA is smart and will know which way to hold the graph while looking at it.) Now use that ruler to draw you axes. Don't forget to label them each with a name and proper units.
Step 3: Now that your axes are drawn, you need to divide them properly. Unless you are making a graph on logrithmic paper (if all the squares on your paper are evenly spaced, you are not) it is important to keep the spacing even along the axis. For example, if you decide that 5 squares is .1 cm on the x-axis, then 5 squares must be .1 cm the whole length of the axis. (5 squares = .1 cm, 10 squares = .2 cm, 15 squares = .3 cm... I think you get the point) In order to get the best possible data from your graph, you should spread your values along the axes as far as possible. You bought the whole page, now use it!

What is the maximum span for 2 x 8 floor joists on 16 OC?
It depends on the species of wood the joists are made from but it should be in the low 11 to mid 12 foot range. Note that the span is the distance between the inside edges of the end supports, so a 12' joist on 2x4 walls will actually span only 11'5" (12 - 3.5 -3.5)
What is the height of someone with an arm span of 66 inches?
Arm span is approximately equal to a person's height. So the predicted height of a person with an arm span of 66in is also 66in.
What does the k in k-span stand for?
K stands for the first name of the person who invented this roof span,but I dont know where was he from.
What is the signal span of an instrument with an output range of 4-20 mA and an input range of 0-200 psi?
This question is using two instrumentation terms which are often incorrectly used interchangeably. The range of an instrument is the measurement of which it is capable and the span is the measurement for which it is calibrated. The span can equal the range or be less than the range. Whatever span you have calibrated the transmitter to will be represented by the 4-20ma output. In this case, if the instrument has a measurement range of 200psi, you could adjust the span for 200 psi, but it would corrspond with the maximum range of 200psi, possibly introducing inaccuracies when operating near the end of the range. It would be preferable to select a device with a range of 250psi and then adjust the span so that 200 psi causes a full scale output of 20ma. This is a span of 80% of the range. (200/250) The output of the transmitter is selected during design of a certain range which will be compatible with the other equipment in the loop. Standards are 4-20ma, 10-50ma, 0-10v and many others. Standard instrument design procedures will normally try to select an input range that will cause the majority of the normal operation measurements to fall within 20-80% of the range. Absolutely correct ! Note concerning range and span: The range of any type of measuring instrument or device is determined by its physical limitations and so the design and construction of it determines the operational application limits and the aimed accuracy. For latter reason the selection of an instrument depends on both factors. The range is limited by the lowest and highest value that a device is adjusted to measure while the adjusted span is equal or smaller than the range. Note that the accuracy is only established by the range, not the span !
Which country has 18 months in a year?

If you have collected data on the average wing span and height of 5 different birds What is the best graph to use to display this data?
double-bar graph
How many years does the earths geologic time scale span?
4.6 billion years
Can you use Spic and Span on wood?
You should be able to use Spic and Span on any type of sealed wood flooring. If the wood is untreated, or unsealed, it may cause some marring or staining. Always test first.
Approximately how many years does the Earth's geologic time scale span?
4.6 billion years
Is span a verb or noun?
Span is a verb, noun, and an adjective. verb - The new bridge will span the river. His acting career spanned 55 years. noun - I talked to him over a span of six years. Small children have a short attention span. adjective - Her apartment was always spick and span.
How long is a goldfish's memory span?
It actually has a memory span of a month. I read this in a book. Don't blame me if it is wrong. This is because a goldfish always recognizes it's owner, knows when it should be fed. It only has the attention span of 3 seconds.
What is a series of notes that moves stepwise and covers a complete span called?
This would be a chromatic scale. In this scale, the octave is divided into semitones - twelve in total - and each semitone is played in succession.
What is a short attention span?
A short attention span is defined as a length of time less than necessary to complete the task. As a rule a child should have an attention span of one minute for each year of age. As you go from childhood to adulthood your attention span should lengthen.
Advantages of wide span of control?
When a manager has a wide span of control they are always in the loop. They will know exactly what is going on in the organization at any given time.
How does an integrator work?
Mathematically an integrator sums up the values during a given time span. (The area under a curve on a graph is the integral over that section)
Why is the geologic time scale used to show the Earth's history?
because the time span of earth past is so great geologic
A series of notes that moves stepwise and covers a complete span is called?
It is called an scale. No it's not. It's called an octave..
