1. Line Graph
• A Line Graph displays data that
change. Every Line Graph consists of
data points that are connected. The
purpose of connecting their lines is to
help illustrate a trend, for example, a
change or other pattern.
Uses of Line Graphs:
• When you want to show trends over
time, for example, how house prices
have increased over time When you
want to show cumulative growth or
increase

• A Bar Graph represents discrete data
with rectangular columns (or bars). Bar
Graphs are among the most popular
types of graphs in economics, statistics,
and marketing. They are commonly
used to illustrate categories of data.
Uses of Bar Graphs:
• When you want to display data that are
grouped into discrete categories, When
you want to compare differences
among categories

3.Pie Chart and from the Hospital
• A Pie Chart displays data in a ‘pie-slice’
format and illustrates proportion. Each
pie slice represents the size of one
category relative to the size of other
categories -- and in proportion to all
the categories together (the whole
pie).
Uses of Pie chart
• When you want to create and
represent the composition of
something
• When you want to show percentages
or proportional data
4. Histogram

• A Histogram shows continuous
data in ordered rectangular
columns. Usually, there are no
gaps between the columns in a
Histogram. Histograms represent
continuous data.
Uses of Histograms:
• When the data are continuous.
• When you want to represent the
shape of the data’s distribution
5. Scatter Plot
The orange line in the above Scatter Plot is
called a “line of best fit” or a “trend line.”
• A Scatter Plot is an x-y
diagram that shows a
relationship between two
variables. It is used to
plot data points on both
the horizontal x-axis and
the vertical y-axis. The
purpose of a Scatter Plot
is to show the
relationship between two
variables.

6. Bubble Chart
A bubble chart is similar to a scatter plot in that it can show
distribution or relationship. There is a third data set, which is
indicated by the size of the bubble or circle.
7. Funnel Chart
A funnel chart shows a series of steps and the completion rate for
each step. This can be used to track the sales process or the
conversion rate across a series of pages or steps.
8. Stacked Bar Chart
This should be used to compare many different items and show the
composition of each item being compared.
