Line Graph Assessment

Figure 1. In the figure above we see four different colored box sets with line graphs depicting the data from one of the two options given on the previous page. Based on the previous videos and pages should get a line graph or set of line graphs that are similar to one of the boxes. In each graph you should see all the cultivars represented by a colored line and be able to compare the percent pixels taken on a particular date. (Jared Stander, University of Nebraska-Lincoln)

We first started off analyzing data with Kristina deciphering good versus bad data collected by UAV's. We then reorganized that data to create a line graph to view the green up progression of the buffalo grass cultivars. Now we are going to put those line graphs to the test and see how well you did creating your own line graph. Using the Image above answer the following quiz questions to demonstrate an understanding of analyzing the data and creating a line graph. If you answer any of the following questions incorrectly, it is strongly encouraged to go back over the Analyze Data and Creating a Line Graph pages to fix your line graph to fit the one we are looking for. 

Quiz

Question

Which of the boxes above would be the most appropriate and accurate way to graph the buffalo grass data?

Looks Good!
Question

Judging all 4 graphs what information is missing to make it an effective line graph?

Looks Good!
Question

If the verticle axis was labeled Percent green and horizontal axis was labeled date, for Box 1. Which cultivar would be best suited for golf course turf knowing that the season for golf is late April through mid October? Why is it the best choice compared to the others? 

Looks Good! Good job! Ne-11-3622 would be a better choice as it green up right away in the early season but also stays green just long enough before the season ends in mid October. Not to mention stays a consistantly high percentage of green through out the season as indicated in Box 1
