Unit 3: Data Visualization - Simplified Notes

Page 44 - What is Data Visualization?


Data visualization means turning boring numbers into pictures. Instead of reading
huge lists of data, we use graphs and charts to understand it quickly. It helps spot
trends, patterns, and outliers. We use bar graphs, pie charts, and line graphs to show
data simply.

Page 45 - Importance of Data Visualization


1. It helps people understand data easily.
2. It helps in decision-making by showing patterns.
3. It saves time because visuals are faster to read than numbers.
Think of it as making data 'talk' visually.

Page 46 - Types of Data Visualization Tools


There are many types:
- Charts (bar, pie, line)
- Maps (to show data by region)
- Dashboards (mix of visuals for business reports)
Each tool is chosen based on the kind of data you have.

Page 47 - Types of Charts and Graphs


Bar Chart: Shows data using rectangular bars.
Pie Chart: Circular chart divided into slices.
Line Chart: Shows change over time using lines.
These are the most basic and important ones.

Page 48 - Bar Chart


Bar charts are great for comparing values.
If you have data like 'sales of 5 products', a bar chart shows which one sold more.
Bars can be vertical or horizontal.

Page 49 - Pie Chart


A pie chart shows parts of a whole.
For example, how your day is divided (sleep, school, study, fun).
Each part is shown as a slice of the circle.
Page 50 - Line Chart
Line charts are used when data changes over time.
Like tracking temperature over a week. The line connects points to show
increase/decrease.

Page 51 - Infographics
Infographics are fun posters or visuals with data + facts + icons.
They're designed to look appealing and simplify complex info.
Used in social media, newspapers, education.

Page 52 - Tools for Creating Charts


Popular tools are:
- MS Excel
- Google Sheets
- Tableau (advanced)
- Canva (for infographics)
These tools help us make clean and attractive data visuals.

Page 53 - Components of a Good Chart


A good chart should have:
- Title
- Labeled axes
- Legend (explains colors or lines)
- Clear data
Basically, it should be neat and understandable.

Page 54 - Common Mistakes in Charts


Avoid:
- Overloading with info
- Using wrong chart type
- Confusing colors or labels
Good visuals are simple and focused.

Page 55 - Real Life Examples


1. COVID-19 spread maps
2. Budget pie charts in news
3. Fitness apps showing your steps in bar graphs
They help non-technical people understand big info fast.
Page 56–64 - Project Work and Activities
These pages usually include practice exercises.
Try making:
- A bar chart of your weekly study hours
- A pie chart of your daily routine
- An infographic on healthy habits
Use Excel or Canva to try simple designs.
