Gordon's Scribepost Sept.24/09

This is my scribepost and it is on question 8 page 15.

8. The table shows the decibel levels of

different sounds in the environment.


Sound Level


Leaves rustling 20 dB


Whisper 30 dB


Heavy traffic 78 dB


Lawn mower 90 dB


Hockey game 104 dB


Thunder clap 120 dB


Stock car races 130 dB


Balloon pop 157 dB






a) Use a bar graph to display the data. What is one advantage of using a bar graph?





My scanner is broken but making a graph is simple so it should be easy for whoever is reading this.

An advantage to using a bar graph is that it represents the data side by side so that it can be compared easily.






b) Could you use a line graph to display the data? Explain.





You couldn't use a line graph, at least not effectively as a line graph is better used to represent one set of data increasing or decreasing over time rather then multiple data.





c) Could you use a circle graph to display the data? Explain.






No you couldn't use a circle graph as that is used to represent data out of total 100 and this data has no specific total.






d) Would a pictograph be an effective way to display the data? Explain why or why not.




It could be a effective way as it compares the data side by side and even in relative groups making it easy for whoever's looking at it to understand.




Well that was my scribepost and even tho its 9:39 i still finished my work and again I am sorry that I couldn't put my graph up but my scanner sucks so untill next time good luck with those equations but to take your mind off that heres a great song ABOUT MATH!!

  6. Hey Gordon you made a good scribepost! I like how your answers were very clear and well explained but next time you should use some more colors. Also,for question 8b, you should have said that you CAN use a line graph but it wont be too effective. Overall your scribepost was great!
