BrookeBurdis Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 i was just wondering if i'm doing a scatter graph and there's say 3people who weigh 7st i can't do three different points on top of one another to show that there are 3 people who are 7st so do i just put one cross for all 3 people ?

dessskris Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 if that's the case, don't use scatter graph! can you use column graph instead? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dessskris Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 it depends on what relationship you are trying to show. if you just want to show the number of people who weighs __ st, a bar chart or a pie chart will do. however, if you are showing something more complicated, e.g. weight VS. height, then you may go with scatter.
