Assume you have been tasked with creating the visuals for a PowerPoint presentation related to this study. As part of the planning process, your manager has requested that you create a table listing the following information: chart title, name(s) of variable(s) to be charted, level of data corresponding to each variable (nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio), type of chart recommended, base to be used, and special instructions. Be specific in making recommendations. Specify whether a bar chart should be a simple bar chart, clustered bar chart, or stacked bar chart. For pie charts, note if an exploding slice is desired. Area charts can be plain or stacked. Indicate whether the base to be used should be all members of the sample, only those who were asked the question, or just those who answered.

Special instructions may include directions to eliminate those who chose “don’t know,” “no opinion,”

or “not applicable” response categories.
