Question
Chapter 2, Problem 49E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An experiment for determining the maximum temperature around the year, along with a graph based on it, is to be represented.
Concept Introduction:
Graphs are used to depict the change in one quantity per unit to another quantity, taken from the set of data. These are easy to analyze and provide a clear picture of the scenario.
In graphs, one of the quantities is plotted on the y-axis and is termed as dependent variable. The other quantity is plotted on the x-axis and is called independent variable. The change in the dependent variable is dependent on the change in the independent variable.
A graph can be used to calculate the various trends which occur in that quantity over a certain period of observations. For example, decrease or increase, average decrease or increase and percentage increase or decrease etc.
