What do triangular graphs show?
the relationship between three different components
1 of 21
positives of triangular graphs?
+show relative importance which may not be easy to see from a data table +shows clusters
2 of 21
negatives of triangular graphs?
- data must be in % -can be difficult to read and construct
3 of 21
What do dispersion graphs show?
a range of values in a data set
4 of 21
positives of dispersion graphs?
+useful for making comparisons +visually effective
5 of 21
negatives of dispersion graphs?
-data must be in a form which can be placed along a number line
6 of 21
What are logarithmic graphs?
a graph with increasingly large scale to show a wide range of data
7 of 21
positives logarithmic graphs?
+useful when a large range of data needs to be presented
8 of 21
negatives of logarithmic graphs?
- difficult to construct and analyse

What is a choropleth map?
asap that show how something varies between different areas using colours and patterns
10 of 21
positives of choropleth maps?
+visually effective to easily see patterns
11 of 21
negatives of choropleth maps?
- a whole area with one shading pattern appears to have the same density with no variations in it -gives the impression that the density changes abruptly at the boundary line

What does a dot map show?
the distribution and quantity using identical symbols
13 of 21
positives of dot maps?
+good visual representation of data and roughly where it is +allow major features of a distribution to be shown
14 of 21
what does proportional symbol maps do?
use symbols of different sizes to represent the data- similar to dot maps
15 of 21
what do flow line maps show?
movement of items of people from one place to another using proportional arrows
16 of 21
positives of flow line maps?
+shows general direction of movement and size
17 of 21
negatives of flow line maps?
- lacks precise sats
18 of 21
what do isoline maps show?
a map with lines linking up all the places where something is the same
19 of 21
positives of isoline maps?
+useful to interpret date and compare places
20 of 21
negatives of isoline maps?
-difficult to construct -element of guess work involved in positioning the isolines
