Introduction

After using the dataset, GSS which stand for General Social Survey, the variables that are compared are two. The two variables utilized were respondents to political party affiliation and highest level of education. These variables were easy to be displayed and their measurement was of nominal level. A clustered graph was concerned in order to display their level of measurement. Comment by Mark DeVirgilio: this was not a dataset choice for the assignmentwhere is the data quality check calculation? Comment by Mark DeVirgilio: what types of variables?

Comment by Mark DeVirgilio: use table label

Bar graphs are extremely beneficial in displaying the ordinal values or can be nominal (their percentage) for variables and variance of the frequencies (Frankfort-Nachmias & Leon-Guerrero,

2015). Numerous amounts of data can easily be displayed on Bar graphs and it made easy the interpretation in the way the data is displayed. They are also especially useful when we need to display variables that are multiple and in a proportioned way.

There are times when bar graphs are not advantageous for displaying data. Bar graphs

are not beneficial when trying to display trends or changes in data over time. They also fail to

display any direct cause and effect or assumptions related to the data.

Using a clustered bar graph to compare level of education with party affiliation is ideal,

as it gives a clear visual display of the two variables. Comment by Mark DeVirgilio: social change?
