Which type of graph would best show the data collected from measuring the volume of a balloon at varying temperatures? circle graph

frequency table

bar graph

scatter plot

The graph that would best show the data collected from measuring the volume of a balloon at varying temperatures is a scatter plot graph.

The frequency table is used to show how often a certain result is given. For example, if we roll a dice 100 times we can use this table to display how often each number came up, which can look like:

A bar graph is often used to compare groups or track changes over time. For example, we can measure how many cars pass by certain points in an hour and use a bar graph to display how many cars passed by each place during that hour by representing each place with its own bar, whose height will tell us the number of cars. This would not be the graph we use because we are comparing changes in a single balloon, not in groups of balloons.

The first option is a circle graph, which is used when one thing contains varying percentages within it. The circle graph can display how much of the total is comprised by each sub-division. This is not the kind of graph we are looking to use because it would be incapable of displaying varying values for the same variable.

The graph that would best show the data collected from measuring the volume of a balloon at varying temperatures is a scatter plot graph because this kind of graph can represent two different variables and is used to compare the relationship between them, in this case, the volume of the balloon and the temperature.
