Using the data supplied by the Riverbend City scenario about the Homeless Teen Program, create a chart that addresses your group’s problem, using Microsoft Excel or comparable software. Note: If you use software other than Excel, make sure the files that the program generates can be read in the courseroom (PDF, JPEG, XLS, and PNG formats should be acceptable). You could create a bar chart, pie chart, histogram, scatterplot, etcetera. Explain the data presented in your chart and why you chose the chart that you did.
VISUALIZING DATA: PART 2
Create a different chart based on the same data that you used for u05d1. Compare the different types of visual presentations. Which chart is more effective at demonstrating the data? Why?
Use Microsoft Excel or comparable software to create your chart. Note: If you use software other than Excel, make sure the files that the program generates can be read in the courseroom (PDF, JPEG, XLS, and PNG formats should be acceptable).
Attach a copy of your chart file with your discussion.
