 Bar Graph
Statement:
A bar graph is a chart that uses bars to show comparisons between categories of data. The
bars can be either horizontal or vertical.
 Uses:
Businesses use both bar graphs and pie charts to present information, such as sales
information, to customers as well as to employees and other businesses. People can also use bar
graphs and pie charts for personal reasons, such as keeping track of finances.

Being able to read and analyze these graphs is a good skill to have because these graphs and
charts are seen all the time in the real world. Sometimes, they are even shown in commercials.
These graphs and charts can be particularly useful when shown to potential investors before
they decide to invest in a company.
 Benefits:
A bar graph is a chart that plots data using rectangular bars or columns (called bins) that
represent the total amount of observations in the data for that category. Bar charts can be
displayed with vertical columns, horizontal bars, comparative bars (multiple bars to show a
comparison between values), or stacked bars (bars contain multiple types of information).
Bar graphs are commonly used in financial analysis for displaying data. A stock volume chart is a
commonly used type of vertical bar graph.
