how to make ONE bar graph with this info?

Question

wanting to make one bar graph with the below info


bouncy ball, golf ball, ping pong ball


carpet, tile, and grass surface


took a meter stick and dropped each ball from each surface and measured it's rebound distance (the bounce). how would I go about getting this in one bar graph? I have all the info but not sure how to go about it.

Answer 1

label y axis with rebound distances. you need to do this according to a range. no need to put numbers that aren't in the general range. on the y, you list the types of balls. you do need to use a map color or marker to color each differently. that's it in a nutshell.

Answer 2

First on the side of the graph or y - axis label it the distance the ball bounced. On the bottom (x-axis) label the 3 ball types. Now you will need to have a Key in the key have the three surfaces and give each a different color. On the graph for each ball draw a bar for each surfaces using the color designated. So in total for each ball you will have 3 bars, each with the respective color for the surface its on.

Answer 3

Okay....I don't know the technical names for parts of a graph so please bear with me.



If I had to do this, I would put the balls on the bottom of the graph and the measurement ranges in the vertical. Now, each ball would have three bars and the bars need to be labeled. I cannot see any other easily understood way to display the info on one graph.
