Charts and Graphs






I struggled a lot trying to figure out what kind of data I was going to work with. The first thing I struggled with was reading the assignment carefully. I started using statistical data from the town of Bristol instead of having it relate to RWU. I then looked on the school website in order to find some kind of data I could use. I decided to do the demographics of Roger Williams students. I made a chart on excel and could not figure out how to delete the unnecessary rows and columns that were already established. I decided to take a screen shot and eliminate those extra rows. Probably not the best decision, but I was desperate.

The best part of Excel is that it has the layout all ready for you. I decided the best graphs to represent my information would be a bar graph and a pie graph. This way there is an obvious relationship between the data that shows the majorities and the minorities. From my graph it is obvious that there is a lot more white students than anyone else.
