Unstandardized Choropleth

This a un-standardized map of Louisiana that represents the percent Cajun population by parish. It is un-standardized because it does not take into account the area of each parish.

Standardized Choropleth

This map shows population distribution of Florida in 2000. The data is standardized by density per square mile.

Bivariate Choropleth

This is a map looking at the quality of health care for various countries. It is technically a multivariate map because it shows data for a particular\ geographical area and is classified by multiple phenomenon at one time. In this case Heath care spending per capita, rank of quality of health care, life expectancy, and infant mortality. http://http://www.moneyweek.com/news-and-charts/economics/healthcare-reform-is-the-nhs-a-socialist-nightmare-44907.aspx

Scatter Plot

http://www.baihp.org/casestud/hdh_roof/images/energy_scatter.gif

This is a scatter plot that demonstrates the energy saving capabilities of white metal roofs. The blue triangles represent readings of temperature and energy usage for white metal roofs and the red squares represent the same variables except for shingled roofs. You can see the linear trend of increased temperature that correlates to the same trend in increase energy usage but what is also clear is how much lower both the temperature and energy usage are for white roofs over the shingled roofs.

Box Plot

This is a box plot made of football player ESPN passer ratings. With a maximum rating of 200 and a minimum of 80, the most consistent of the players seem to be Tebow and McCoy. While McCoy's max rating isn't as high both of their medians fall within their inter quartile range.

Triangular plot

While the image gives a pretty good description of what this plot represents a generalization can be made in terms of these primates sampled not having much meat matter in their diets. If I were to plot myself here I would probably be more to the left about half way up.

Histogram

This is a histogram that represents the recorded hourly wind speeds at Plymouth Mountbatten. A histogram is appropriate for this representation because they are only interested in one element and that is wind. The graph shows that as the average hourly wind speed of "u" increases the number of occurrences decreases.

Stem and Leaf plot

This stem and leaf plot is sample data of a single healthcare provider on the amount of money women paid for a single mammogram. The sample size was 221 as shown by the blue numbers on the right but also by counting the red squares. Each square is worth up to 3 individuals, according to the article. The mean for the procedure was $546 and the median and mode were both $703.


Star plot

The following star plot was created in a project that was testing the possibility of automating some of the steps taken in the process of designing space exploration equipment. The authors explain in this star plot the center represents the most desirable results. The red line represents the hand crafted MER IDD, and is used for comparison and validation of the approach.

This choropleth map was created by a student using the American Fact finder function on the census website. It uses a color scheme to the percent Hispanic or Latino in Florida by county. There is an obvious trend of southern counties having a higher percentage of Hispanic or Latino per capita.

Dot Distribution

This a dot distribution map of Virgina showing the population distribution across the country side. The data used for this map was 2000 census data and when compared to historical data they found that the distribution is the same as in the 1900 census, however this map shows that there are twice as many dots which represent rapid growth in population density.

Propaganda

This is a propaganda map of Florida that divides the State into 5 sections. What the map is trying to explain is the great diversity of amongst the state and the challenges that creates for campaigning in the state. Notice, Miami Dade is its own state.

PLSS

This is a map of townships in Oneida County, Wisconsin. You can see the around the border of the map the "T" township number "N" North and also the "R" Rang number East that corresponds to each of the squares. Also with in each individual square you can see the page number of where the PLSS description can be found on that township. The description also points out the difference between a township and a town and points to teh Town of Minocqua and its 5 townships within it as an example.
