Which graph is a cumulative frequency graph?

For ungrouped data, the graph for a random variable (rv), X, is usually a line graph whose horizontal axis is the values that the random variable can take, and whose vertical axis is the number of observations (or outcomes) of the random variable that are less than or equal to that value of the rv. For grouped data the graph is usually a corresponding bar graph.


On a line graph the ratio of the change in the y variable to the corresponding change in the x variable is called a lines what?

The rise and the run.


When constructing a graph using breathing rates to temperature what are their variables in a graph?

The independent variable is the temperature. The dependent variable will be some measure of breathing rate - probably number if inspirations per minute.


What graph graph indicates that there is a linear relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable?

a graph of the independent variable and dependant that shows a graph with a fixed gradient (I.E a line graph) The equation of the graph will be given by y = mx +c where m is the gradient and c is a constant


What is the independent variable on a bar graph?

The independent variable on a bar graph is the variable that is manipulated or categorized to observe its effect on the dependent variable. It is typically represented on the x-axis (horizontal axis) of the graph. For example, in a bar graph showing the sales of different products, the product categories would be the independent variable.

The variable plottted on the horizontal x-axis is called?

You're generally going to put the independent variable on the horizontal axis, ie the variable that you decided to change in the experiment. If it is a continuous variable (ie a run of numbers) then you will be plotting a line graph and joining with a line or curve of best fit. If your variable is categoric ie has labels rather than numbers, or if it is whole-number only, then you're going to be plotting a bar graph.

Say someone used a line graph to show info about the number of CDs she owned by different arists.Is a line graph a good choiceto show data.... Why or why not?

A line graph is not a good way to represent the data as the number of CDs is a continuous variable, but the artists are a discrete, categoric variable. A line graph should be used when both variables are continuous. A bar chart or bar graph should be used when one variable is continuous and one is discrete.


Where does the dependent variable always go on the graph?

dependent variable always go on y.axis on the graph.


What is the vertical axis of a graph called?

The y-axis is the vertical line on a line graph.
