Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 Quiz: Charts And Graphs
When using Microsoft PowerPoint, you can find yourself making a slideshow presentation for any use – whether it be business or creative-centric. If it’s the former, then there’s a good chance you might at some point need to show off some of your gathered data in the form of a graph or chart. Never fear, PowerPoint has just the thing for you! How do you access it, though? Let’s find out!
Questions and Answers

This type of chart works like the pie chart but instead of slices, this uses several rings around the doughnut hole.
Explanation
A doughnut chart is a type of chart that is similar to a pie chart, but instead of having slices, it consists of several rings around a central hole. Each ring represents a different category or data set, and the size of each ring corresponds to the proportion or percentage of that category or data set. This type of chart is useful for comparing the relative sizes or proportions of different categories or data sets in a visually appealing way.Rate this question:

It shows the breakdown of a total. It always shows only a single data series and is useful when you want to emphasize a significant element.
Explanation
A pie chart is a type of chart that displays the breakdown of a total into different categories or segments. It is commonly used to represent proportions or percentages of a whole. Each category is represented by a slice of the pie, with the size of the slice corresponding to the proportion it represents. Pie charts are particularly useful when you want to highlight a specific element or compare the relative sizes of different categories within a dataset.Rate this question:

This type of chart shows the relationship among the numeric values in several data series.
Explanation
This answer is correct because an XY (scatter) chart is a type of chart that shows the relationship between two sets of numeric values. In this type of chart, each data point is represented by a marker on the chart, and the position of the marker represents the values of the two variables being compared. This type of chart is useful for visualizing and analyzing the correlation or relationship between two sets of data.Rate this question:

It shows trends in data at several at equal intervals. It emphases changes rather than comparison or intervals.
Explanation
A line graph is a type of chart that displays trends in data over time or at equal intervals. It is particularly useful for emphasizing changes in data rather than making comparisons or analyzing intervals. The graph consists of a series of data points connected by lines, allowing for a visual representation of the overall trend or pattern.Rate this question:

This type of chart works like a scatter chart except that it compares data with bubbles of different sizes.
Explanation
A bubble chart is a type of chart that displays data points using bubbles of different sizes. It is similar to a scatter chart, but the size of the bubbles represents an additional dimension of data. The larger the bubble, the higher the value of the data point it represents. This type of chart is useful for comparing data across multiple variables, as it allows for visualizing the relationships between three different variables.Rate this question:

It shows data changes over a period of time or illustrates comparisons among items. Stacked column charts show the relationship of individual items to the whole.
Explanation
A column chart is a type of graph that displays data changes over a period of time or compares different items. It is commonly used to show trends or patterns in data. The chart consists of vertical columns, where the height of each column represents the value of the data it represents. In this case, the correct answer "Column" is referring to the type of chart that is commonly used to illustrate these data changes or item comparisons.Rate this question:

This type of chart compares changes in values of several series. Like radar, each value is plotted on axes that radiates from the canter of the chart.
Explanation
The correct answer is "Radar" because the given description clearly states that this type of chart compares changes in values of several series and each value is plotted on axes that radiate from the center of the chart. This matches the characteristics of a radar chart, which is also known as a spider chart or a web chart. In a radar chart, the data points for each series are plotted on different axes that extend from the center, allowing for easy comparison of values across different categories or variables.Rate this question:

It shows the relationship of individual items to the whole.
Explanation
A stacked bar chart is a visual representation that displays the relationship of individual items to the whole. It uses horizontal bars to represent different categories or groups, and each bar is divided into segments representing the sub-categories or components of the whole. The length or height of each segment corresponds to the proportion or percentage it represents within its category. This type of chart is useful for comparing the total values of each category as well as the relative contribution of each sub-category to the whole.Rate this question:

This type of chart compares changes in values of several series. Each value is plotted on axes that radiates from the center of the chart.
Explanation
A radar chart is a type of chart that compares changes in values of several series. Each value is plotted on axes that radiate from the center of the chart. This type of chart is useful for visualizing and comparing multiple variables or categories and their respective values. It allows for easy identification of patterns, trends, and comparisons between different series.Rate this question:

This type of chart is used to compare in a set values during an interval of tome, by displaying the sum of the plotted values, an area chart also chows the relationship of parts to a whole.
- 11.
This type of chart shows the best and worst combination of numbers on your data sheet. This includes three surface subtype.
- 12.
It shows comparison among individual items. Categories are organized vertically, values horizontally. This type of chart compares measurement at intervals.
Explanation
The given correct answer is "Bar". A bar chart is a type of chart that compares individual items by organizing categories vertically and values horizontally. It is commonly used to compare measurements at intervals. In a bar chart, the length of each bar represents the value or quantity being compared.Rate this question:
- 13.
These type of chart are like 3-D column or #-D bar chart, only that it users more interesting shapes to make graphical representation.
Explanation
This answer correctly identifies the shapes that are used in this type of chart. The chart mentioned is similar to a 3-D column or bar chart, but it uses more interesting shapes such as cones, cylinders, and pyramids for graphical representation.Rate this question:

This chart can easily compare the rise and fall of stocks this can be used depict volume of sales or daily variation of temperature and air pressure.
- 15.
It is a lettered or numbered gray area at the top of each column.
Explanation
The correct answer is "Column Heading" because it refers to the lettered or numbered gray area at the top of each column. This area is used to label and identify the content or data in that particular column, making it easier for the reader to understand the information presented in the column.Rate this question:
