Graphing and Representation of Data
Biology ⇒ Scientific Inquiry and Experimental Design in Biology
Graphing and Representation of Data starts at 7 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Graphing and Representation of Data.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
Describe how to choose the best type of graph for a given data set.
Describe how you would determine if two variables are correlated using a graph.
Describe one advantage and one disadvantage of using a line graph to represent biological data.
