1. Advantages and disadvantages of bar graph Advantage Show clear and better view of the overall information. Data presented according to the race which easy to analyze the information. Easy to determine the highest or the lowest value Help us to compare 2 or 3 categories of data only. Cannot show the growth of the data in the graph. Not suitable to show the percentage value of data A lot of categories to compare in a graph are not suitable. Disadvantage The data with decimals is not suitable.

We choose this method to represent the data because it is easy for us to observe and analyze the data collected from the survey that we conducted to the teacher trainees in IPG Kampus Sultan Abdul Halim. Bar graph is suitable to show the total number of teacher trainees based on the category in the graph. This is because the graph show directly the total number of teacher trainees.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of pie chart Advantages Helps to show the division of the category and parts clearly. The data suitable to present in percentage and degree. Cannot show the exactly values. Disadvantages Cannot show many data series.

Can determine the largest and smallest total number by looking the size of the sectors. The data provided is simple.

Too many data is not suitable because the parts becomes smaller and difficult to observe. Cannot provide overall information clearly.

We choose this method because it is suitable to present the data collected in the form of percentage. In the pie chart, we can see that there are some sectors that represent the data collected. From this, we can find the value of the degree of each sector in the pie chart that represents the data. We can also easily see the largest sectors and the smallest sectors by comparing them in the pie chart. Besides that, the sectors of the pie chart always coloured with different colours. This will make the pie chart looks interesting and the difference size of the sectors in the pie chart can been seen clearly. This can make the readers easily to analyze the information from the pie chart.
