Are families that earn between $10K and $34K evenly spread over range? Are families that between 35K and $75K evenly spread over that range? Other Common Data Visualization Techniques Bar charts Scatter plots Time series plots Bar charts Bar charts are used to visually compare how much there is of one thing versus how much there is of another thing Bar Charts Or, for comparing how much A has of something versus how much B has of the same thing Scatter Plots Scatter plots are used to analyze t
