QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
342
1
When should I use a table, and when should I use a
graph?
2
Should I use different graphs for presentations and
for written reports?
3
How do graphs for data analysis and graphs for
communication differ?
4
What should I use instead of pie charts?
5
What if I just want an impression of the direction of
the data? Then may I use three-dimensional charts?
6
I use three-dimensional charts but I include data
labels. That s OK, isn t it?
7
I want my graphs to attract the reader s attention.
How should I decorate them?
8
Why do you think we see so many bad graphs?
9
When should I use each type of graph?
