What will be an ideal response?
(1) A bar graph is a graph that consists of bars of various lengths that represent numbers or percentages. It is useful for making comparisons. For example one bar might show how much money was paid for gas in Chicago, while another bar shows the cost of gas in St. Louis. (2) A pie graph is a circular graph that shows how data are divided proportionately. For example, a pie graph could show how much money each department in a company spent on office products with each "slice" representing one of the departments. (3) A line graph is a graph that shows trends over a period of time and relationships among the variables. For example, a line graph would be suitable to show how much the U.S. government has spent on the military for each of the wars it has been involved in since the 1800s.
