CAN BE SEEN IN MARKET RESEARCH

SCHEDULING
PLANNING OUT A SHEDULE FOR A COMPLEX PROJECTS

ANALYZING VALUE AND RISK

TYPES OF CHARTS

SCATTER PLOT
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO CONTINUOUS
VARIABLES

BOX PLOT
RELATIONSHP BETWEEN A CATEGORICAL
VARIABLE AND A CONTINUOUS VARIABLE.
ALSO SHOWS THE DISTRIBUTION OF
CONTINUOUS VARIABLE AND OUTLIERS

TYPES OF CHARTS (FOR TIME SERIES)

LINE CHART
ILLUSTRATES CHANGES OVER TIME

AREA CHART
IT IS AN ADAPTION OF A LINE CHART WHERE THE AREA UNDER THE LINE IS FILLED IN
TO EMPHASIS ITS SIGNIFICANCE.

TREE
MAP
(OTHER TYPES OF CHARTS)
DISPLAYS DATA IN NESTED RECTANGLES. IT
IS ALSO A PERFECT TOOL FOR DISPLAYING
