Chapter 1, Working With Data
Graphs provide information in a visually organized manner which helps people to see trends in the data. Look at different kinds of graphs and the kinds of information each is best at displaying.
Part B, Making Bar Graphs
Assume you need to plan meals for a day for an athlete who is supposed to eat 2500 calories a day.
1. At CyberDiet's daily food planner you can plan up to 13 days of meals complete with shopping lists and nutritional information. Plan your meals for a day.
a. Enter 2,500 calories and click "Go." Make sure nutritional information at the bottom of the page has an "x" in the box. After you have decided what you want to eat for each meal, click on "I'm Finished!" The computer will generate a report for you.
b. Make a list of all the food you chose for each of the four meals.
c. Make a bar graph of the total grams of fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and sugar for all meals combined.
d. Make a circle graph of the calorie distribution of the four meals -- breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. Include beverages in the appropriate meal.
e. Make a pictograph of the number of calories consumed in each meal.
