Which data visualization technique is best suited for comparing multiple data points?

  1. Bar chart

  2. Pie chart

  3. Line chart

  4. Scatter plot


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A bar chart is a graphical representation of data that uses bars to show the relationship between different categories. It is useful for comparing multiple data points, as the length of each bar represents the value of the corresponding category.

What is the primary purpose of a pie chart?

  1. To show the relationship between different categories

  2. To compare multiple data points

  3. To show the distribution of data

  4. To show trends over time


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A pie chart is a circular graph that divides a dataset into proportional slices, with each slice representing a different category. It is useful for showing the distribution of data, as the size of each slice corresponds to the proportion of the total represented by that category.

Which data visualization technique is best suited for showing trends over time?

  1. Bar chart

  2. Pie chart

  3. Line chart

  4. Scatter plot


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A line chart is a graphical representation of data that uses lines to connect data points over time. It is useful for showing trends over time, as the line shows how the data changes over the specified period.

What is the primary purpose of a scatter plot?

  1. To show the relationship between different categories

  2. To compare multiple data points

  3. To show the distribution of data

  4. To show trends over time


Correct Option:
Explanation:

A scatter plot is a graphical representation of data that uses dots to represent individual data points. It is useful for showing the relationship between different variables, as the position of each dot on the graph corresponds to the values of the two variables for that data point.

Which data visualization technique is best suited for showing the distribution of data?

  1. Bar chart

  2. Pie chart

  3. Histogram

  4. Box plot


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A histogram is a graphical representation of data that uses bars to show the distribution of data. It is useful for showing the frequency of occurrence of different values in a dataset, as the height of each bar corresponds to the number of data points that fall within the corresponding range of values.

What is the primary purpose of a box plot?

  1. To show the relationship between different categories

  2. To compare multiple data points

  3. To show the distribution of data

  4. To show trends over time


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A box plot is a graphical representation of data that uses a box and whiskers to show the distribution of data. It is useful for showing the median, quartiles, and outliers in a dataset, as the box represents the middle 50% of the data and the whiskers extend to the most extreme values.

Which data visualization technique is best suited for showing the relationship between two variables?

  1. Bar chart

  2. Pie chart

  3. Scatter plot

  4. Heat map


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A scatter plot is a graphical representation of data that uses dots to represent individual data points. It is useful for showing the relationship between two variables, as the position of each dot on the graph corresponds to the values of the two variables for that data point.

What is the primary purpose of a heat map?

  1. To show the relationship between different categories

  2. To compare multiple data points

  3. To show the distribution of data

  4. To show the correlation between variables


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A heat map is a graphical representation of data that uses colors to show the correlation between variables. It is useful for identifying patterns and relationships in data, as the color of each cell in the heat map corresponds to the strength of the correlation between the two variables represented by that cell.

Which data visualization technique is best suited for showing the relationship between multiple variables?

  1. Bar chart

  2. Pie chart

  3. Scatter plot

  4. Parallel coordinates plot


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A parallel coordinates plot is a graphical representation of data that uses multiple parallel lines to show the relationship between multiple variables. It is useful for identifying patterns and relationships in data, as the position of each data point on the graph corresponds to the values of the multiple variables for that data point.

What is the primary purpose of a treemap?

  1. To show the relationship between different categories

  2. To compare multiple data points

  3. To show the distribution of data

  4. To show the hierarchy of data


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A treemap is a graphical representation of data that uses nested rectangles to show the hierarchy of data. It is useful for showing the relationship between different levels of data, as the size of each rectangle corresponds to the value of the corresponding category.

Which data visualization technique is best suited for showing the flow of data?

  1. Bar chart

  2. Pie chart

  3. Sankey diagram

  4. Flow chart


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A Sankey diagram is a graphical representation of data that uses arrows to show the flow of data between different categories. It is useful for showing the relationship between different parts of a system, as the width of each arrow corresponds to the amount of data flowing between the corresponding categories.

What is the primary purpose of a funnel chart?

  1. To show the relationship between different categories

  2. To compare multiple data points

  3. To show the distribution of data

  4. To show the stages of a process


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A funnel chart is a graphical representation of data that uses a series of connected trapezoids to show the stages of a process. It is useful for showing the flow of data through a process, as the width of each trapezoid corresponds to the amount of data at that stage of the process.

Which data visualization technique is best suited for showing the relationship between different parts of a system?

  1. Bar chart

  2. Pie chart

  3. Network diagram

  4. Mind map


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A network diagram is a graphical representation of data that uses nodes and edges to show the relationship between different parts of a system. It is useful for showing the structure of a system, as the nodes represent the different parts of the system and the edges represent the connections between them.

What is the primary purpose of a word cloud?

  1. To show the relationship between different categories

  2. To compare multiple data points

  3. To show the distribution of data

  4. To show the frequency of occurrence of words


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A word cloud is a graphical representation of data that uses words to show the frequency of occurrence of different words in a dataset. It is useful for identifying the most common words in a dataset, as the size of each word in the word cloud corresponds to the number of times that word appears in the dataset.

Which data visualization technique is best suited for showing the sentiment of data?

  1. Bar chart

  2. Pie chart

  3. Sentiment analysis

  4. Word cloud


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sentiment analysis is a data visualization technique that uses natural language processing to analyze the sentiment of data. It is useful for identifying the overall sentiment of a dataset, as well as the sentiment of individual data points.
