Drawing a Graph/Table to Present Data

?
Introduction
Business charts are graphs that are used to show numerical
facts in a simple and informative way. There is a variety of these
illustrations to show complex enormous data visually without
reading the whole text. Therefore, you are advised to have a
good presentation to illustrate honest facts and not missing
important information. How will you do it? This module will help
you.
In this Module, you will learn how to construct the
appropriate graphs for business data presentation .

Objective
After studying this module, you should be able to draw the graph/table to
present the data.


Vocabulary
Data - these are facts, statistics or information either historical or derived by
calculation or experimentation.
Fractional Part - a portion or part of a whole.

Frequency - It represents how frequent a score occur within a grouping.

Frequency Table - summarizes the entries in each category.
Graph - a diagram presentations of data gathered

Grouped Frequency Table - is a statistical table that summarizes and

describes a set of data in class interval.
Labels/Categories - it tell specific type of data.
Legend / Key - It tells the value of each symbol.
Scale - Contains the unit of time/frequency in X-axis and Y-axis.
Title - It tells what a graph is all about.

3
 X-Axis - Horizontal axis.
Y-Axis - Vertical axis.

PRE-TEST
Let’s find out how much you already know about the topic.

Draw a simple illustration of the following graph.

1. Line Graph

2. Pie Graph

3. Bar Graph

How was it? Did you do well?

If yes, Good Job! It means you already know much about the topics. You
may still continue reading the module to review. Who knows, you might learn
something new.
If you got a low score, it is okay, don’t feel bad. This means that this
module is for you. Are you ready to learn the answers to all the items in the test
and a lot more?
You may now start browsing the module.

 How to Construct A Graph?

Let’s Read & Learn

A. Let’s start with a LINE GRAPH:

Scenario #1:

You were tasked to make a line graph using the First quarter
sales report of Product X in Store A.

STEP 1: Tabulate the data needed.

MONTH SALES
January 20, 000
February 25, 000
March 35, 000
TOTAL 80, 000

STEP 2. Make an X-axis and Y-axis.

STEP 3. Write the Scale in X-axis and Y-axis. Do not forget the numbers on the X-
axis which indicates the units of time. On the Y-axis the numbers indicate the
units of frequency. Be cautious on the scale of the Y-axis. If the scale is set
too high or too low, the trends in the data can be misleading.

STEP 5. Write the title of the Graph and the label on X-axis and Y-axis.

STEP 6. Write a short description about the graph.

The sales of product X in Store A for the 1st Quarter is consistently increasing.
There you have it. A finished line graph shows below:

 The sales of product X in Store A for the 1 st Quarter is consistently
increasing.

B. The Bar graph and Histogram are created using a similar process as of Line Graph.
Instead of the line, the bars are plotted and erected on the X-axis. You do not
connect the data points, but bars are created instead of the line.

Scenario # 2

You want to open a small dine in/take out store. To do well in this
business, you decided to conduct a survey on the most preferred
dishes in your target market. The Data shows the following:
Dishes No. of respondents
Porkchop 500
Adobo 1, 200
Carbonara 2, 000
Fish Fillet 200
Chicken BBQ 2, 500

Present it using a Bar Graph.

Following the steps above in Line graph, the graph below illustrates the final output.

Most Preffered Dishes in the Target Market

No. of Respondent

3000
2500
2000
1500

Porkchop Adobo Carbonara Fish Fillet Chicken BBQ

Dishes

Most of the respondents prefer chicken BBQ while on the other

hand, fish fillet is the least preferred dish.
C. Follow these steps in constructing a PIE GRAPH.
Scenario #3:

You want to make a Pie graph of your own store “TG Store’s
Budget for the Month.

Step 1. Organize your data

7
 EXPENSES P 6 000
SAVINGS P 4, 000
PAYABLES P 10, 000
Step 2. Write the data as fraction or percent

ITEM AMOUNT COMPUTATION FRACTION/PERCENT

Expenses P6, 000 (6,000/20,000) X 100 3/10 or 30%

Savings P4,000 (4,000/20,000) X 100 1/5 or 20%

Payable P10, 000 (10,000/20,000) X 100 ½ or 50%

TOTAL P 20, 000
STEP 3. Find the number of degrees corresponding to each slice

ITEM PERCENT COMPUTATION DEGREES

Expenses 3/10 or 30% 0.3 X 360 108

Savings 1/5 or 20% 0.2 X 360 72

Payable ½ or 50% 0.5 X 360 180

STEP 4. Construct the circle using a protractor to measure the angles. Give a title to
your graph. Label the sectors of the graph. (Note if you don’t want to manually
make your pie graph you may use Microsoft Office for easy construction)

When using a pie graph, be reminded of the following:

A. Limit your variables to at most six (6). Too many variables will crowd the pie
graph which will be difficult to read.
B. Detach some parts from the main pie to emphasize important sectors.
C. Use different colors for every sector to distinguish every part.

8
D. Constructing a pictograph

Scenario #4:

Create a pictograph of the world Population for the following year, 1650,
1850, 1930, 1975, 1999 and 2012.

STEP 1. Prepare your data

YEAR Population
1650 500, 000, 000
1850 1, 000, 000, 000
1930 2, 000, 000, 000
1975 4, 000, 000, 000
1999 6, 000, 000, 000
2012 7, 000, 000, 000

Step 2. Choose a symbol or picture to represent the data and give a value. This will
be your Legend or Key
= 1 billion people

Step 3. Using the data on STEP 1, plot your symbol or picture that corresponds to
your label/categories and add a title of your graph.

Step 4. Make a short description about the graph.

The graph shows an increasing population from 1650 to 2012.

Let’s think about it

10
Can you do it on your own now? How was constructing a graph? Is it easy to follow?
If all your answers are YES, then you are on the right track. If not, it’s okay,
you can always scan the module again.
