Describe the differences and similiarities between a stack graph and a line graph.
What is they both track rises and falls over time, and they both take data where each column represents a data series. However, a is a good method for visualizing change in a set of items, where the sum of the values is as important as the individual items whereas a line graph tracks continuous change. Note: A stack graph is a classic method for visualizing change in a set of items, where the sum of the values is as important as the individual items. A stack graph is excellent for looking at revenue over time across several products, for example. Because a stack graph uses areas to convey numbers, they don't work for negative values. And in some situations it might not make sense to add up different data series (say, prices of different stocks over time). For these cases you may want to use a line graph.

An Outlier in data (piece of data that is vastly different from the rest of the data) in the data can affect your visualization in this way?
If you are displaying averages, totals, min, max - the outlier could skew the display.

Draw and explain a word tree.
A word tree is a visual search tool for unstructured text, such as a book, article, speech or poem. It lets you pick a word or phrase and shows you all the different contexts in which it appears. The contexts are arranged in a tree-like branching structure to reveal recurrent themes and phrases.

Describe how a visualization might be misinterpreted. Give an example. You may draw if you’d like.
What is you may only map pieces of the data without looking at everything. For example - you might map SAT scores by STATE and notice that Georgia's scores are low compared to Alabama. But if you also looked at participation rate, you would see that Georgia has a much higher participation rate - which explains the lower SAT average.

Draw and explain a tree map.
What is a Treemap is a visualization of hierarchical structures. It is very effective in showing attributes of leaf nodes using size and color coding. Treemaps enable users to compare nodes and sub-trees even at varying depth in the tree, and help them spot patterns and exceptions.

Give examples of 5 rows of raw data that you make put in a scatter plot including header labels.
What is Data requirements A scatterplot is one of the most flexible methods for visualizing numeric data. It will work with any data table that has at least two numeric columns (for the x- and y-axes) and a text column (to label points as the mouse moves over them). An example data set suitable for a scatterplot is: Hero Age Weight Strength Batman 44 210 1000 Robin 17 150 100
