Waubonsee Community College Effective Data Visualization Paper

0 comments

Suppose that I take a survey of all the business students at Waubonsee Community College about placing a national fast food chain on campus. I ask them to choose their favorite (choose one and only one):

o McDonald’s
o Taco Bell
o Chick-fil-A
o Burger King

I count all the responses for each category. Then, I calculate the relative frequency of each response as a percentage of preference out of all responses by taking the count of each method and dividing it by the total completed responses. The administration of the college wants a quick visual of the percentage of student’s favorite choice for the upcoming “Things To Know”.

Which type of graphical presentation would I use? Use the data’s level of measurement and the administration’s data request to support your response.
