Continuous data charts
One of the best types of charts for displaying continuous data is a line graph.
Line graphs usually show data over a certain time period. Although they can also show the data of any type of continuous data, eg distance or age.
Here is an example of a line graph that shows different ages of pupils within a school and the numbers who own a mobile phone.
By clicking on the line graph button in the tool bar of the spreadsheet, you will be able to create a line graph.
Example summary
The highest number of mobile phones are owned by 16-year-olds, followed by 15-year-olds, then 14-year-olds. The smallest number of mobile phones are owned by 11-year-olds.
