There are generally 3 types of graphs. Each has its own benefits and uses...
- bar graphs - are good to compare different things/categories
- line graphs - are good to show change over time; usually it deals with only one thing
- pie graph - are good to show how one thing/category compares to others as a whole
For this assignment, you'll make 3 graphs using the stats below.
