bar graph scatterplot circle graph pictograph
I gave my students this multiple choice question: A scientist looks at a graph that shows the percentages of humus, clay, and sand that make up a soil. If the scientist had the total weight of each material, instead of percentages, what type of graph would be best to illustrate the data?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- bar graph
- scatterplot
- circle graph
- pictograph

Could you tell me which one is correct?
