compares values from different categories. Values are indicated by the height of the columns or
the length of a bar - correct answer ✔✔ column or bar
display data that is organized into a hierarchy of categories where the size of the groups is based
on a number - correct answer ✔✔ hierarchy
displays financial cash flow values or stock market data - correct answer ✔✔ waterfall or stock
compares values from different categories. Values are indicated by the height of the lines. Often
used to show trends and changes over time. - correct answer ✔✔ line or area
displays a chart summarizing the distribution of values from a sample population - correct
answer ✔✔ statistic
Compares relative values of different categories to the whole. Values are indicated by the areas
of the pie slices - correct answer ✔✔ pie
Shows the patterns or relationship between two or more sets of values. Often used in scientific
studies and statistical analyses - correct answer ✔✔ X Y (scatter) or bubble
compares three sets of values in a three-dimensional chart - correct answer ✔✔ surface or
radar
combines two or more chart types to make the data easy to visualize, especially when the data
is widely varied - correct answer ✔✔ combo
, compares data values across geographical regions - correct answer ✔✔ map
creates a chart summarizing data from a PivotTable - correct answer ✔✔ PivotChart
chart that displays the data series in separate columns side by side so that you can compare the
relative heights of the columns - correct answer ✔✔ clustered column
chart that places the data series values within combined columns showing how much is
contributed by each series - correct answer ✔✔ stacked column chart
when are line charts used? - correct answer ✔✔ when the data consists of values drawn from
categories that follow a sequential order at evenly spaced intervals
what does a combination chart do? - correct answer ✔✔ it combines two chart types within a
single chart
what does a scatter chart do? - correct answer ✔✔ it plots two data series of numeric values
against each other
when are scatter charts used? - correct answer ✔✔ they are widely used on science and
engineering applications when investigators want to discover how two numeric variables are
related
a label that appears as a text bubble attached to a data marker - correct answer ✔✔ data
callout
similar to pie charts; they show the relative contribution of groups to a whole
