TEST DATA
GRAPHICALLY

numbers"

HISTOGRAM
 Histogram

A histogram is a type of graph appropriate for

quantitative data such as test scores. This
graph consists of columns-each has a base
that represents one class interval, and its
height represents the number of observations
or simply the frequency in that class interval.

Frequency polygon
 Frequency
Polygon
This is also used for quantitative data,
and it is one of tutorials The
most commonly used methods in
presenting test scores. It is the line
graph of a frequency polygon. It is
very similar to a histogram, but
instead of
bars, it uses lines to compare sets of

Cumulative
Frequency
Polygon
 Cumulative
Frequency
Polygon
This graph is quite different from a frequency
polygon because the cumulative frequencies are
plotted. In addition, you plot the point above the
exact limits of the interval. As such, a cumulative
polygon gives a picture of the number of
observations that fall below a certain score
instead of the frequency within a class interval.
 04
Bar Graph
 Bar Graph

This graph is often used to present

frequencies in categories of a qualitative
variable. It looks very similar to a histogram,
constructed in the same manner, but spaces
are placed in between the consecutive bars.
The columns represent the categories and
the height of each bar as in a histogram
represents the frequency.

Plots
 Box and Whisker
Plots

This is a very useful graph

depicting distribution of test
scores through their
quartiles.

Pie Graph
 Pie Graph

One commonly used method to represent

categorical data is the use of a circle graph.
You have learned in basic mathematics that
there are 360° in a full circle. As such, the
categories can be represented by the slices of
the circle that appear like a pie thus, the name
pie graph. The size of the pie is determined by
the percentage of students who belong in
