Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of graph do we use for discontinuous variation?
A
A bell-shape
B
frequency chart
C
Line graph
D
Scatter Graph
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -We usually us a bar chart for discontinuous variation data: We usually us a line graph for continuous variation data: This means that living things will naturally show variation (they will be different to each other).

Detailed explanation-2: -This shape of graph is typical of a feature with continuous variation. Weight would give a graph similar in shape to this. A characteristic of any species with only a limited number of possible values shows discontinuous variation. Human blood group is an example of discontinuous variation.

Detailed explanation-3: -What chart do you use to plot discontinuous variation? You use a bar chart with gaps between the bars. This is because there is no range of data.

Detailed explanation-4: -Histograms are a standard way to graph continuous variables because they show the distribution of the values.

Detailed explanation-5: -A bar graph is used to show comparison between different categories. It is used to represent discontinuous, ungrouped data. On the other hand a histogram is used to represent continuous, grouped data.
