Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Yes, The Segmented Bar Graph (also known as Stacked Bar Chart) works well with categorical data types. Each bar in this chart is divided into several sub-bars stacked end-to-end. Use the graph if your goal is to display a part-to-whole relationship.
Detailed explanation-2: -With categorical or discrete data a bar chart is typically your best option. A bar chart places the separate values of the data on the x-axis and the height of the bar indicates the count of that category.
Detailed explanation-3: -Categorical variables should be displayed using pie charts or bar graphs. Quantitative variables are usually displayed using histograms or stemplots.
