Abstract

Graphic presentation is considered the preferred way of presentation of data over diagrammatic presentation as graphs are always more accurate and precise, whereas diagrams are generally used for the purpose of publicity and propaganda. Relationship between two variables can be studied by graphs. These can be drawn more easily than diagrams. Graphs are considered very useful for studying time series and frequency distribution.
