4 Goal: Graph Nominal Frequency Data 2 Assignment: Create six charts (pie, column and bar) Three for count data as shown on slides 5, 8 and 9 Three for percent data as shown on slide 10 Creating enhanced charts (cf, slide 12) is not required Data is from the 2014 Pew Survey on Religion in the US wwwpewforumorg/2015/05/12/americas-changing-religious-landscape/ Data for this assignment is available at: wwwstatlitorg/xls/excel2013-graph-nominal0-data-inputxlsx

5 Two ways: Select Data or Copy/Paste/Modify Chart 3 First time: 1 Select B5:C8 2 Insert/Chart Do not include TOTAL row! Subsequent times: 1a Re-select same data 1b Insert chart Since all graphs use B5:C8, 2a Copy/paste the last graph 2b Select part of new graph, 2c Right mouse and select Change chart type 2d Change type as needed

6 4 Insert Pie Chart: 2-Dimension Never use a 3-D pie chart Areas are distorted!

7 5 #1: Pie Chart of Counts

8 Copy/paste last chart or Select data; Insert column chart 6

9 7 #2: Column Chart of Counts

11 On Percent Worksheet: Create Pie, Col & Row Graphs 9 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Distribution of US Adults Christian Religious, non-christian Unaffiliated/None Required: Modify titles on all percentage graphs Distribution of US Adults Unaffiliated/None Religious, non-christian Christian 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80%

12 Appendix: Optional No extra points! 10 Making charts suitable for high-level presentations

13 Not Required Enhanced Bar Chart (%) 11 Creating these charts is easy when given summary data For a professional presentation, select and enhance: 1 Select the percent charts If the sample is representative then the sample percentages also apply to the population 2 Enhance the charts so they are more readable Increase font size and bold Change color from grey to black 3 Enhance the charts so they are self-documenting Add some indication of the data source 4 Optional: Add data labels depending on the audience

14 Not Required: Enhanced Bar Chart 12 Distribution of US Adults by Religious Group 80% 73% 60% Pew 2014 Religious Survey 40% 20% 22% 5% 0% Christian Religious, non-christian Unaffiliated/None
