Perhaps one of those line charts? What type of questions should I ask myself when choosing? :smile:

what type of variable do you have? continuous? discrete/categoric?

There are only 2 types of graphs generally used for science.

Pie Chart and Columns! But what do you mean by discrete/categoric? Anyway either the lines or the columns, but really I don't know on what category of that table I should focus!

I dont get if mine has fixated values or continuous range!

I mean it has 4 values divided in 4! And overall should I acknowledge the means only?

Edit: I used a Column chart! But I only acknowledged the means, what do you think? :biggrin:
