Best Broadway shows in two time periods from 2000-2008 and 2009-2016.

 

   

The above bar graphs shows the number of performances in Broadway shows during two periods of time intervals 2000 to 2008 and 2008 and 2016 in two formats; stack and dodge. The the right labels on vertical side give the names of the shows. As, we can see that these graphs are visually not very clear as there are numerous data due to which the labels on the right vertical is unclear as well.

 

 

The above two graphs are much improved form of the First set of two graphs. The shows that had less than 1000 performances have been removed which will help to find the best broadway shows. These graphs are visually clear  than earlier graphs. We can see the names of the shows are now visible and can figure out highest performances and lowest performances easily compared earlier ones. However, it will be little time consuming for deciding 2nd, 3rd and so on.

Thus, below we have better graphs showing the order of the good shows on the basis of the number of performances. We can easily see the rank of different shows on the basis of performances for two time periods; from 2000 to 2008 and 2009 to 2016 respectively.

Finally, the complete graphs are shown below where we have titles, proper labels in x and y axes so that we can easily get the information about the graph. Even, non statistician will be able to understand these improved graphs. We can tell the Best Broadway Shows was “Rent” during 2000-2008, likewise “The Lion King ” and “The Phantom Of The Opera” were best shows in 2009 to 2016 at one glance.

 

 

Population growth Rate in United Arab Emirates from 2000 to 2009 and its comparison with another country.

 

The above figure shows how population has been increased within 10 year from 2000 to 2009 in United Arab Emirates. We can see two vertical scales, the actual population is on the right scale and left scale represents log transformation of the population with base 2. The actual  population has been increased exponentially but after taking log transformation, we can see constant rate of increase in population. Thus, this transformation is helpful in a way as it shows  how the population is increasing without doing any further arithmetic.

The above graph represents the population growth between two countries United Arab and Jordan from 2000 to 2009. Clearly, we can see that the population has been increased significantly in United Arab Emirates (UAE) within that period of time; while the population growth is slower in Jordan in compare to UAE. Thus, it is quite helpful if use single panel of graph for comparison; as we can easily figure out the differences between two or more curves when drawn in a single panel than in separate panels.

How level of fat contained in US cereal effect calories?

The above graph was about the data of 65 different cereals product and the type of nutrition contained in the cereals of US. The graph shows the relationship between level of fat that US cereal contained and how it effected in calorie gain. We can see that increase in the level of fat cause gain in calorie for most of the Cereals except for few. Also, we can say that most of the cereals contained fat level between 0 to 6.5 and their calories gained lie between 0 to 250. However, there’re very few cereals having higher fat level more that 8 and gained around 350 calories.

The 2nd graph shows the same thing as first one, but it is visually unattractive than the first one; because the data labels are in the interior of the scale rectangle that clutters the graph. This is quite interfering and not able to clearly visual all labels as well. Another problem with this graph is the use of bigger unfilled triangular symbols that are completing blocking other neighbor values. Use of smaller dots or small circles would reduce these kind of problems.

The third graph contains one more variable (nutrition contained in US cereals), “sugar” and how it is associated with the level of fat and its impact on calorie gain. Increase in size and brightness of circle indicates the increase of sugar levels in US cereals. Moreover, this explains that higher the level of fat and sugar, higher the calories will be gained. Apart from this, there are few cereals at the top left of the graph which contain zero fat and moderate sugar level but have highest calories. This is an exceptional case and may contain any other nutrition that cause more calorie.

Growth of Instructional fees for BGSU(per term) over selected years.

The above graph explains about how the Tuition fees have been increased for BGSU (per term) from 1960 to 2018. The horizontal axis shows the periods or years and vertical axis is the logarithm of tuition fees. We can see that the fees have been significantly increased over several years. And, the vertical line represents the year (2008) when I started my College life.
