Concept explainers
Use a bar graph and a broken-line graph to graph the data on voter turnout, as a percentage of the population eligible to vote, in U.S. presidential elections.
To graph:The data given in the following table for the voter turnout, as a percentage of the population eligible to vote, in U.S. presidential elections using a bar graph,
Explanation of Solution
Graph:
Consider the given table,
The percentage of eligible voters corresponding to the different years is known as the frequency. The frequencies are represented on the
Use the frequencies to draw the graph of the given data.
Thus, the bar graph of the given frequency table is,
To graph:The data given in the following table for the voter turnout, as a percentage of the population eligible to vote, in U.S. presidential elections using a broken-line graph.
Explanation of Solution
Graph:
Consider the given table,
Voter Turnout in US Presidential Elections
A broken-line graph can be obtained from a vertical bar-graph by joining the mid-points of the tops of consecutive bars with straight lines.
The percentage of eligible voters corresponding to the different years is known as the frequency. The frequencies are represented on the
Use the frequencies to draw the graph of the given data.
Thus, the bar graph of the given frequency table is,
