Question
“For our lab 5, one of the questions asks to choose the best fit chart type. I was wonder what does that exactly mean? Should we choose it based on the data or which ever graph looks best? Also how are we suppose to know or come up with an idea of the treatment?”
Response
“Best fit chart type” would be the chart that best displays the information for humans to examine and interpret. There is no “right” answer to the chart type. You might consider:
- Bar charts
- Pie charts
- Scatter charts
You might also consider what are the appropriate scales:
- Linear
- Log
- Other?
Treatment
We’re not asking you to develop a chemical treatment, but what would you recommend to PWD in terms of actions they might take?

ReplyDeletePlease note, that the "Chart Type" question probably refers to PDF lab slides. The question in the slides was intended to start a discussion about graph types that may be good and bad bad for this lab. We had that discussion in the class Section 61.
ReplyDeleteI did not find any question about chart type in the Instruction and the Template.
