Statistic Graphs
Generate the following 8 graphs/charts USING THE MOVIE TABLE BELOW:
1.A bar chart with the most financially successful genres (based of the total number of films).
2.A bar chart with the most financially successful genres (based on total revenue generated).
3.A time series chart with the most financially successful studios based on total box-office returns per studio.
4.A Bar chart with the most successful studios based on total number of blockbuster movies released.
5.A pie chart with the genre distribution among the 50 blockbusters.
6.A pie chart that with the Rating breakdown of the 50 blockbusters.
7. A frequency distribution graph that shows the number of blockbusters found in each budget bracket. Use increments of 50 mil for the budget brackets.
8. A frequency distribution graph that will show the number of blockbusters found in each Box Office bracket. Start at 'less than 300 Mil' and go from there in increments of 100 Mil (see the example above).
To generate the above charts/graphs, one needs to first create summary tables (or pivot tables) that will consolidate all the relevant data for that particular chart. Excel will not create the summary tables for you automatically!
For further help with Excel, please download the PDF file names "Stats and Graphs in Excel" which is available for download below or check tutorials in Lynda.com (through Connect) or YouTube.
Part 4: Interpretation of Data
Students will write a one-paragraph (minimum 6 sentences) containing an interpretation of (at least) one chart/histogram of their choice from the 8 charts they have generated. They should choose the one that they find the most revealing and significant. When exploring the data, they should focus on the insights that that particular chart reveals, and reflect on how would this particular chart affect their decisions as far as green-lighting a film, should they place themselves in the shoes of a studio executive that reviews such data.
