What kind of graph did everyone do coz my teacher said that it was meant to be a column grap and most the girls in my school did line graphs.

i did two line graphs on the one set of axis. you cant be marked down for not doing a column graph. the line graph i did was clear and i made it clear which lines were female or male using a key.

with the qustion about the other bit of information that should have been included in the stats, did you all say smoking and non smoking?

please be column!!!

I started off w/a line graph, then thought it looked kinda wrong (cause we were used to doing epidemiological study findings as column graphs) so I changed it to a column graph..I hope its ok, but it DID say to choose the 'most appropriate' so hopefully they won't mind

i did a column graph because it's easier (well..i think so anyway) to compare male and female..

for that bit i wrote something like 'whether or not the males and females smoked'..

i was marked down a mark for doing a line graph instead of a column graph in my trial for a question very similar to that one and my teacher is also a HSC marker

I did a line graph but used a key to show between male and female. The line graph best suited if you wanted to use the whole graph paper.

Line graph was definatly what they were expecting.

I did an entire column graph, even colored it in pretty, then went craaaaap, and had to get a new sheet and did a line graph.

Line graph was the more apporpiate form for viewing the trends over time.

I did a line graph. I'm sure we were supposed. We were showing a trend, so line graphs the way to go.
