INTRODUCTION
For the coursework of Basic Mathematics, We need to do a survey to Kota Bharu
Teaching Institute’s student. So, we did some research to fulfill our assignments. We
had chosen the title “Favourite Television (TV) Programmes” for our survey. We did the
survey among 70 training teachers.
Finally, when we got the result, we transferred the data into the three types of
chart which is bar graph, pie chart, and scatter plot. According to the type of the graph,
we can conclude which is the best graph that can show our data and also the graph is
least effective for presenting our data. We had chosen the bar graph is the best graph to
present and the scatter plot is least effective to present.
HISTOGRAM
For the histograms' usage in digital image processing, see Image histogram and Color
histogram.
The word histogram is derived from Greek: histos 'anything set upright' (as the masts of
a ship, the bar of a loom, or the vertical bars of a histogram); gramma 'drawing, record,
writing'. The histogram is one of the seven basic tools of quality control, which also
include the Pareto chart, check sheet, control chart, cause-and-effect diagram,
flowchart, and scatter diagram. A generalization of the histogram is kernel smoothing
techniques. This will construct a very smooth probability density function from the
supplied data.
Cumulative histogram
There is no "best" number of bins, and different bin sizes can reveal different features of
the data. Some theoreticians have attempted to determine an optimal number of bins,
but these methods generally make strong assumptions about the shape of the
distribution. You should always experiment with bin widths before choosing one (or
more) that illustrate the salient features in your data.
The number of bins k can be calculated directly, or from a suggested bin width h:
Sturges' formula[1]
which implicitly bases the bin sizes on the range of the data, and can perform poorly if n
< 30.
Scott's choice[2]
where h is the common bin width, and s is the sample standard deviation.
Freedman-Diaconis' choice[3]
Continuous data
H(f)(y) = with only finitely many intervals of monotony this can be rewritten as
This scatter plot allows you to visualize multivariate data of up to four dimensions. The
Scatter plot takes multiple scalar variables and uses them for different axes in phase
space. The different variables are combined to form coordinates in the phase space and
they are displayed using glyphs and colored using another scalar variable.[1]
A scatter plot only specifies variables or independent variables when a variable exists
that is under the control of the experimenter. If a parameter exists that is systematically
incremented and/or decremented by the experimenter, it is called the control parameter
or independent variable and is customarily plotted along the horizontal axis. The
measured or dependent variable is customarily plotted along the vertical axis. If no
dependent variable exists, either type of variable can be plotted on either axis and a
scatter plot will illustrate only the degree of correlation (not causation) between two
variables.
A scatter plot can suggest various kinds of correlations between variables with a certain
confidence level. Correlations may be positive (rising), negative (falling), or null
(uncorrelated). If the pattern of dots slopes from lower left to upper right, it suggests a
positive correlation between the variables being studied. If the pattern of dots slopes
from upper left to lower right, it suggests a negative correlation. A line of best fit
(alternatively called 'trendline') can be drawn in order to study the correlation between
the variables. An equation for the correlation between the variables can be determined
by established best-fit procedures. For a linear correlation, the best-fit procedure is
known as linear regression and is guaranteed to generate a correct solution in a finite
time. Unfortunately, no universal best-fit procedure is guaranteed to generate a correct
solution for arbitrary relationships.
One of the most powerful aspects of a scatter plot, however, is its ability to show
nonlinear relationships between variables. Furthermore, if the data is represented by a
mixture model of simple relationships, these relationships will be visually evident as
superimposed patterns.
For example, to display values for "lung capacity" (first variable) and how long that
person could hold his breath (second variable), a researcher would choose a group of
people to study, then measure each one's lung capacity (first variable) and how long
that person could hold his breath (second variable). The researcher would then plot the
data in a scatter plot, assigning "lung capacity" to the horizontal axis, and "time holding
breath" to the vertical axis. A person with a lung capacity of 400 cc who held his breath
for 21.7 seconds would be represented by a single dot on the scatter plot at the point
(400, 21.7) in the Cartesian coordinates. The scatter plot of all the people in the study
would enable the researcher to obtain a visual comparison of the two variables in the
data set, and help to determine what kind of relationship there might be between the
two variables.
The scatter diagram is one of the basic tools of quality control, which include the
histogram, Pareto chart, check sheet, control chart, cause-and-effect diagram and
flowchart.
PIE CHART
A pie chart (or a circle graph) is a circular chart divided into sectors, illustrating relative
magnitudes or frequencies or percents. In a pie chart, the arc length of each sector (and
consequently its central angle and area), is proportional to the quantity it represents.
Together, the sectors create a full disk. It is named for its resemblance to a pie which
has been sliced.
While the pie chart is perhaps the most ubiquitous statistical chart in the business world
and the mass media, it is rarely used in scientific or technical publications. It is one of
the most widely criticised charts, and many statisticians recommend to avoid its use
altogether, pointing out in particular that it is difficult to compare different sections of a
given pie chart, or to compare data across different pie charts. Pie charts can be an
effective way of displaying information in some cases, in particular if the intent is to
compare the size of a slice with the whole pie, rather than comparing the slices among
them. Pie charts work particularly well when the slices represent 25 or 50% of the data,
but in general, other plots such as the bar chart or the dot plot, or non-graphical
methods such as tables, may be more adapted for representing information.
The earliest known pie chart is generally credited to William Playfair's Statistical
Breviary of 1801.
Example
An exploded pie chart for the example data, with the largest party group exploded.
The following example chart is based on preliminary results of the election for the
European Parliament in 2004. The following table lists the number of seats allocated to
each party group, along with the derived percentage of the total that they each make up.
The values in the last column, the derived central angle of each sector, is found by
multiplying the percentage by 360°.
The size of each central angle is proportional to the size of the corresponding quantity,
here the number of seats. Since the sum of the central angles has to be 360°, the
central angle for a quantity that is a fraction Q of the total is 360Q degrees. In the
example, the central angle for the largest group (EPP) is 135.7° because 0.377 times
360, rounded to one decimal place(s), equals 135.7.
Variants and similar charts
A chart with one or more sectors separated from the rest of the disk. This effect is used
to either highlight at sector, or to highlight smaller segments of the chart with small
proportions.
This style of pie chart is used to give the chart a 3D look-and-feel. Often used for
aesthetic reasons, the third dimension does not improve the reading of the data; on the
contrary, these plots are difficult to interpret because of the distorted effect of
perspective associated with the third dimension. The use of superfluous dimensions not
used to display the data of interest is discouraged for charts in general, not only for pie
charts.[9]
Florence Nightingale is credited with developing a form of the pie chart now known as
the polar area diagram, or occasionally the Nightingale rose diagram and first
published in 1858. The name "coxcomb" is sometimes used erroneously, but this was
the name Nightingale used to refer to a book containing the diagrams rather than the
diagrams themselves. [10]
The polar area diagram is similar to a usual pie chart, except that the sectors are each
of an equal angle and differ rather in how far each sector extends from the centre of the
circle, enabling multiple comparisons on one diagram. It has been suggested that most
of Nightingale's early reputation was built on her ability to give clear and concise
presentations of data.
Although Florence Nightingale is usually credited with this graphical invention, there are
earlier uses. Léon Lalanne used a polar diagram to show the frequency of wind
directions around compass points in 1843. André-Michel Guerry is an earlier inventor of
the "rose diagram" form, in an 1829 paper showing frequency of events for cyclic
phenomena

SURVEY OF FAVOURITE FRUIT
Question 1
We choose the first one graph because for us it is interesting to present. The bar graph
of survey about favorite’s fruits amount of people in 3 class that eat fruits between
orange, apple, mango, guava and pineapple. This survey we had done to 70 students.
Then, we can see the result shows that for orange 27 student likes, for apple 14 student
likes , 18 student likes mango, 7 student for guava and 4 student for pineapple.
Question 2
Which of the 3 graphs do you feel shows your data in the best way and why?
Graph that we feel shows our data in the best is the first graph also, bar graph. We say
that because besides it is interesting to present and also we can see clearly to the
number of people that interest to each of the favorites fruits. In spite of that, the bar
graph we had make, when people look at the graph, they can understand directly
without explanation because all information have been shown in the graph. It is better
than the second and the third graphs because of the first graph looked more systematic
and simple to explain to other person.
Question 3
Which of the 3 graphs is least effective for presenting your data and why?
A graph is least effective for presenting our data is the third graph or scatter plot of
survey about favorite fruits. This graph is not interesting to present to public because it
is not colorful so people can only see one color. Color can help student to understand
faster and more easier. We also agree it is least for presenting because it is not suitable
for this survey. Beside that, the graph is weak to present data due to the items is not
many only five items who are orange, apple, mango, guava and pineapple.
Furthermore, it is hard to read. So, the graph is suitable for rain report, accident statistic
and others.
Question 4
Explain your choice of interval for the bar graph or histogram or choice of symbols on
the pictograph.
We had chosen the first one graph that is bar graph because in our opinion, it is
most interesting to present compared to another graphs. To create a bar graph, we
have to choose the interval for the graph. After making the analysis from seventy
training teachers, we found that they have their own choices totally. From the analyzed,
the training teachers who likes orange 27 student, for apple 14 student likes , 18 student
likes mango, 7 student for guava and 4 student for pineapple
After thinking deeply and making some discussion, we choose to use the multiply
by ten in every interval because we find that it is suitable to present the result of survey.
If we choose the multiply of two, the bar will be height compared when we use the
multiply by ten. And so, if we choose the multiply by twenty, the graph will be smaller
and make difficulty to anyone who see it. So, in this bar graph, the interval has only
three because the result shows that the seventy training teachers in IPKB have the
balanced of favorites fruits. For the first interval, it is from 0 to 10 persons. Next, the
interval has 11 to 20 persons. Lastly, it started from 21 to 30 persons.
As the conclusion, we can conclude that the multiply by ten in every interval was
so suitable to present the result of the survey. Here, we can see also the graph stated
that orange has the highest bar in the graph with twenty-seven persons and pineapple
was the lowest bar with four persons.
Question 5
What is the answer to your question? Fully describe how you reached this conclusion
When we receive this assignment, we do not know to do the survey on what
topics. After a day discussion with our members group, we make a conclusion to do the
survey about favourite Fruits. It is because after a year we become the training teacher,
we found that majority of the training teachers like to eat fruits. So, we choose this topic
to survey on what kind of fruits their likes to eat.
After that, we create a survey to give to them and after all the surveys completed,
we discuss the work that we have to do. After discussion, we had chosen three types of
graph likes bar graph, pie chart and scatter plot. Next, based on the results, we
transferred the data into them.. According to the kind of the graph, we can conclude
which is the best graph that can show our data and also the graph is least effective for
presenting our data.
After finishing creating and drawing all the graphs, we found that bar graph is
most suitable way to show our data. Why? It is because bar graph is easily to show any
data’s. Besides that, it is interesting to present and also we can see clearly to the
number of people that interest to each of them. In spite of that, the first graph or bar
graph we make, when people look at the graph, they can understand directly without
explanation to them because all information have been shown in the graph.
Then, we felt that is the least effective for presenting our data because it is not
interesting to present to public moreover it is not colorful only use one color. We also
agree it is least for presenting because it is not suitable for this survey except doing
many surveys to many places. So, we can explain it using this graph because we can
see comparison between places that we have chosen. Besides, the graph is weak to
present data due to the items is not many only five items that are orange 27 student
likes, for apple 14 student likes , 18 student likes mango, 7 student for guava and 4
student for pineapple
Once again, we say that to create and draw a bar graph, we have to look for the
result first. From that, we can make a choice to choose any interval that we feel suitable
for the graph. In this situation, we choose to use the multiply by ten because we feel
that when we look towards the graph, we can know the results clearly without explaining
in words. So, this is why we choose the bar graph as the best way to representing data.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we had chosen the first one graph that is bar graph because in
our opinion, it is most interesting to present compared to another graphs. To create a
bar graph, we have to choose the interval for the graph. After making the analysis from
seventy training teachers, we found that they have their own choices totally. From the
analyzed, the training teachers who likes Orange is about 27, Pineapple is about 4,
Mangos is about 18, Apple is about 14 and Guava is about 7 persons.
Besides, Graph that we feel shows our data in the best is the first graph also,
bar graph. We say that because besides it is interesting to present and also we can see
clearly to the number of people that interest to each of them. In spite of that, the first
graph or bar graph we make, when people look at the graph, they can understand
directly without explanation to them because all information have been shown in the
graph. It is better than the second and the third graphs because of the first graph looked
more systematic to explain to other person
In spite of that, we agree a graph is least effective for presenting our data is the
third graph or scatter plot of survey of favorite’s fruits. We say that because it is not
interesting to present to public moreover it is not colorful only use one color. We also
agree it is least for presenting because it is not suitable for this survey except doing
many surveys to many places. So, we can explain it using this graph because we can
see comparison between places that we have chosen. Besides, the graph is weak to
present data due to the items is not many only five items who are orange, apple,
mango, guava and pineapple. So, the graph is suitable for rain report, accident statistic
and others.
Reflection
REFLECTION
First of all, we want to thanks to Mr. Ibrahim Bin Ismail because give this
assignment to us. This assignment gives us more benefits. When we do this
assignment, we can make a revision and preparation to the coming final examination.
Thus, we want to thanks very much to our lecture again because he willing to help us in
completing this assignment and also guide us to complete this assignment.
In order to complete this assignment, we had used all skills had we gets and
learn while in the class. We have learned many things while finished this course work
like new knowledge and experience. We also can know the process of solving
problems with other concepts how to answer the question and that entire make us
confident to answer the question.
Besides that, from doing this course work it’s teaching us to answer the question
carefully. This is because, most of our mistakes are coming from our careless. We did
not read question until finish and do the solution with completely. We also will panic
when see different question form and we also must study hard and make more exercise
in mathematics subject to get a good result.
Lastly, we hope this assignment can get the best marks so that it can help us in
final exam. Thank you.
