Question 1:
The chart you select to represent your data will be influenced by many factors. Kirk (2016) has put each chart into the five main families below:
Categorical: Comparing categories and distributions of quantities values
Hierarchical: Charting part-to-whole relationships and hierarchies
Relational: Graphing relationships to explore correlations and connections
Temporal: Showing trends and activities over time
Spatial: Mapping spatial patterns through overlays and distortions
Select a chart type from the text and discuss what the chart is used for and why you selected it. (The author has included a lot of different chart types in our course book)
2. Research Paper:
Background: Kirk (2016) designed his text to help understand the four steps involved in working with data. Kirk (2016) discusses the following working with data steps: Data acquisition, data examination, data transformation, and data exploration. Each step is important and the individual steps depend on each other. As a researcher, you cannot jump from data acquisition to data exploration without completing the process of the previous steps.
Assignment: Write a research paper that contains the following:
Discuss data acquisition
Discuss data examination
Discuss data transformation,
Discuss data exploration
Compare and contrast two of the steps
Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (800 words), double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word.
