Stem and leaf plot

A stem and leaf diagram is a diagram that show raw data in many different ways including but not limited to graphs, tables, and charts. The data in the plot is arranged by place value. Stem and lead plots can be vital to a large fortune five hundred company with thousands of employees that are trying to keep track of their budget and their bottom line. They are great when someone is trying to store a large amount of information in a small place. This graph is a great representation of data that has been arranged to be viewer friendly while using place values to its advantage.

Box plot

A box plot is an image which uses a graph to depict statistical information. Different section the statistical box plot encompass the graph starting with the sample minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and sample maximum. In addition, off the wall numbers which far exceed the data sets are numbers that we refer as to outliers. This graph represents all of the data we discussed except the outliers.

Histogram

A histogram is a common graph which represents graphical data through statistics and allows the viewer of the graph to see clearly how the information has been distributed. The core use of a histogram is for plotting large amounts of data that need to be analyzed and put to use. This could be anything from production of livestock to the bottom line of a sales company that needs to make a certain amount by the end of the year.

Parallel coordinate graph

A parallel coordinate graph is in a league of its own. This graph is so confusing to understand that the whole goal of the graph is not make you learn some new type of date but to show you how data can correlate to each other even if you don't understand the data itself. These types of graphs that involve a lot of lines are generally hard to read but once the beginning point is given, the flow of the chart will come to the viewer a lot easier.

Triangular plot

A triangular plot uses a graph to represent three different ratios of variable to depict a certain representation of material. These graphs are usually associated with physical science coursed such as chemistry, biology, and oceanography. The proportions and variables must all equal each other. This illustration is a good representation of a triangular plot because it represents three different variables which are percent clay, percent silt, and percent sand and they are made into a triangular graph and depict a certain physical science subject matter.

Windrose

A windrose is a tool that is highly utilized by meteorologists to forecast wind speeds and directional flow. A windrose originated from the term "compass rose" which tells direction. The windrose shows a wide band of wind direction and uses different colors to plot directional flow and speed. This diagram is a perfect example of what I have just described. It compares to a compass rose with the directional flow but uses colors to show the variation in the directional flow and wind speed.

Climograph

A climograph is a basic map that shows graphical information that represents climate material such as rainfall, average temperature, heat index, and humidity levels. Most people use a climograph for reviewing weather patterns at the fly versus actually sitting down and analyzing the patterns from a finer point of view. This climograph represent the average temperature for Pensacola, Florida from a year round perspective. The number and months are represented clearly as well as the temperatures.
