Suggestions for Graphing:

Here are a few ways you could graph this data, depending on what relationships you want to visualize:

  1. Bar Chart by Subject and Value:

  • X-axis: Subject

  • Y-axis: Value

  • This would allow you to compare the values across different subjects. 

    You could also color-code the bars by Subject.

  1. Bar Chart by Task and Value:

  • X-axis: Task

  • Y-axis: Value

  • This would allow you to see the distribution of values for different tasks. 

    Given the number of tasks, a horizontal bar chart might be more readable.

  1. Grouped Bar Chart:

  • X-axis: Subject

  • Y-axis: Value

  • Bars grouped by Task.

  • This would allow you to compare values across subjects, and see how the values vary for

     different tasks within each subject.

     

A grouped bar chart is suitable here because you have two

 

 categorical variables (Subject and Task) and a numerical variable (Value). 

It allows you to visualize how the Value changes across different Tasks within each Subject.

Here's how you can interpret a grouped bar chart in this context:

  • Each group of bars represents a Subject (e.g., Mathematics, Reading Comprehension).

  • Within each group, there are multiple bars, each representing a different Task.

  • The height of each bar corresponds to the Value for that specific Subject and Task.

  • By comparing the heights of the bars within each group, you can see how the 

    Value varies across different tasks for a given subject. For example, within the 

     

    "Mathematics" group, you can compare the values for "Find the circumference of a circle" and "Find the area of the rectangle or triangle."

  • By comparing the groups themselves, you can see how the Value varies across different subjects for a given task. For example, you could compare the "Find the circumference of a circle" bar in the "Mathematics" group to the (hypothetical) "Find the circumference of a circle" bar in a "Physics" group, if such data existed. This lets you see if performance on a particular task is generally higher or lower in different subjects.

  1. Scatter Plot:

  • If you had another numerical variable, you could use a scatter plot. 

    But with the current data, a scatter plot is less suitable.

I'll provide the code for generating the first two types of bar charts, as those are most straightforward

 with this data.
