Chapter 5, Problem 10STP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A graph of temperature versus time needs to be plotted using the data given in the table below:

Temperature of water with heating
Time (s)	Temperature (ºC)
0	16.3
30	19.7
60	24.2
90	27.8
120	32.0
150	35.3
180	39.6
210	43.3
240	48.1

Concept introduction:

The difference and trend in the data can be easily visualized via plotting graphs. This can be said that a visual display of data is its graph. There are three types of graphs:

• The parts of a fixed whole can be represented by a circle graph. The different parts are represented as percents where the entire circle represents $100\%$.
• The variation of a quantity across different categories can be represented by a bar graph.
• In the line graph, the intersection of data for two variables is represented by the different points.

Answer to Problem 10STP

The graph showing temperature versus time is as follows:

Explanation of Solution

The difference and trend in the data can be easily visualized via plotting graphs. From the given data, the graph can be plotted between temperature and time by putting all the temperature values on y axis and time at x axis.

Conclusion

The graph showing temperature versus time is as follows:
