For each classmate that you choose, look carefully at both graphs on their attached Word document.
(a) Create a critique of their graphics. Include constructive comments to assist with improvement. Include this critique in your responses.
(b) For each of the four (4) people you respond to, choose one of their graphs and redo the graph for them with improvements. Include the improved graph as an attachment to your response post.
(Remember – graphs can always be improved – such as better use of color, labels, style, clarity, etc.) When you respond to each of the four classmates, be sure that your response includes the graph that you improved for them. (Attach the improved graph as part of your response).

Jola Barrie, Discussion 4
1. This is from the Male Health Dataset. I chose to use the histogram to show the frequency of birth months among males used in the dataset. The Qualitative variable I had chosen was the
Month
of Birth. This graph was appropriate as the frequency displays nicely in the histogram bar chart
2. Using the same dataset I chose The height in inches of Adult males as my quantitative variable. I chose a similar graph to show the grouping and frequency of heights in the given sample set. This graph shows the average height of the men chosen. By narrowing the groupings down to 2 in sections you can see that most of the men from this sample were of height 68-70 inches. It also shows you the outliers from the sample set.

Rainfall
The name of the dataset that I chose is Rainfall. I chose a clustered column chart to compare the value. The qualitative variable used for this graph is the cities being compared for how many inches of rain each receive.
RAINFALL
The quantitative variable used for this graph are rain and temperature in a specific city. I chose a clustered column chart to compare the values of rain and temperature in each chosen city.
