I have to create a chart showing data that does not seem to relate. I interview 5 people and asked them two questions. Name as many cars as they can in 1 minute, name as many colors as they can in 1 minute.
1. Came up with 5 cars and 6 colors. 2 Came up with 6 cars and 2 colors. 3. Came up with 3 cars and 7 colors. 4. Came up with 8 cars and 10 colors. 5. Came up with 6 cars and 2 colors. I have to create some sort of chart in an "L" with 2 variables that reflects these two sets of numbers. I do not see how. Any ideas? The X and Y are apparently not car types and colors, only the numbers that the people came up with. Help! |

Bar graph. The bottom of the graph is Person1 Person2 etc. The side of the graph is numbers 0 thru whatever. Each person has a red bar and a blue bar above their name. The red bar is for # cars the blue bar is # colors. ETA: Nevermind. Didn't read the last part of the post....  |

One axis is colors, the other cars. Each person is a point. Scatter plot. Yup. This is an easy one. According to the professor, the cars and colors are not what is important on the graph. It is the combination of choices. They did not select from a list of cars or colors, they came up with them on their own. The five people could have come up with 30+ totally different cars and 30+ totally different colors. |

These labels are inappropriate for statistics, but this is how you would set it up. |

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for helping me conceptualize it. |
