Appropriate graph to illustrate multiple differences in measurement?

In summary, a boxplot in RStudio would be the most suitable graph to represent the results of the walking test with stilts and without for the expert and novice groups.

I have two groups (expert & novice) that were tested on walking with stilts and without. The results were:

walking velocity (cm/s)
cadence (steps/min)
stride length (cm)

What would be the appropriate graph to run with RStudio to account for the three different measurements?

Thanks,

Dants

The appropriate graph to run with RStudio to account for the three different measurements would be a boxplot. This will allow you to visualize the differences between the two groups in terms of walking velocity, cadence, and stride length. You can also add other features to the graph such as colors or labels to distinguish between expert and novice groups.
 

FAQ: Appropriate graph to illustrate multiple differences in measurement?

1. What is the best type of graph to use for showing multiple differences in measurement?

The best type of graph to use for showing multiple differences in measurement is a bar graph. This type of graph allows for easy comparison of the different measurements, and the bars can be color-coded or labeled to represent the different categories being measured.

2. Can a line graph be used to show multiple differences in measurement?

Yes, a line graph can be used to show multiple differences in measurement. However, it is not the most effective type of graph for this purpose as it is better suited for showing trends over time rather than comparing different measurements.

3. When should a scatter plot be used to illustrate multiple differences in measurement?

A scatter plot should be used when there is a relationship between two variables and you want to see how they are related. It is not the best choice for showing multiple differences in measurement unless those differences are related to each other in some way.

4. Can a pie chart be used to illustrate multiple differences in measurement?

No, a pie chart is not an appropriate graph to use for showing multiple differences in measurement. This type of graph is better suited for showing proportions or percentages of a whole rather than comparing different measurements.

5. How should the data be organized before creating a graph to show multiple differences in measurement?

The data should be organized in a table with clear labels for each measurement and category. This will make it easier to create an accurate and easy-to-read graph. It is also important to make sure the data is accurate and free of errors before creating the graph.
