Displaying Data
Wagner (2020) notes histograms are suitable matches for displaying single scale variables’ distribution. A multivariate histogram is a stacked bar histogram showing the distribution of one variable by the categories of another variable (Wagner, 2020). In sharing the dataset codebook, NORC notes (2019) the data make up a social indicator research program. Figure 1 below displays the number of hours per week spent using the web by race. Figure 2 displays the age of respondent statistics.
