Data Analysis Graphing Suppose I gave you a table of data A long, long table… Surface temperature (last Sunday) Dependence on Time (last Sunday) It’s evident that… Figures can Re-tell the data Reveal patterns tell a story Multi-dimensional imaging Wind velocity… what’s missing? Velocity is a vector Many types of graphs Data summing to 100%... Where do WIE students live? Where do commuter students live (2006)? Graphing requirements Axis labels Unit designations Title Legend Caption A story Scaling – telling a BAD story Graphs in Labs How did you present your data in the college rankings lab? How did you present your data in the materials lab? Why? When is a table better than a figure? What’s the density of a 7% mixture? Data Analysis: Linear Interpolation Data Analysis: Bilinear Interpolation Data Analysis: Bilinear Interpolation Practice Problem… then break How does one make sense of all this data? y x The figure is capable of revealing patterns that are not obvious in the data! 4:00 pm noon 9:00 am 5:00 am Consider an enormous data table containing frequencies and the variables x, y, t, and T. Residential Commuter Five significant digits The table shows that the density is 0.98347 g/cm3 Data Analysis: Linear Interpolation What is the density of a 5.5% ethyl alcohol solution at 25 C? Determine by linear interpolation! To solve, assume a linear relationship between: Density and temperature and/or Density and % ethyl alcohol x y What if there is a non-linear relationship between x and y? Over small Δx, can still approximate a linear relationship between x and y. To solve, assume a linear relationship between: Density and temperature and Density and % ethyl alcohol * 5.5%, T=23C * *
