Your job for this part of the assignment is to create displays that collect and organize this data, as described below.

You can make choices about how to group and organize the data into categories. This is more or less straightforward for some categories, but more complicated for others. There is nobestway to do this but it depends on what kind of story you're trying to tell with the data. As a rule of thumb, too many different categories usually gives information overload whereas too few categories doesn't tell an interesting enough story. Finding the middle ground depends on the tastes and preferences of the graph-maker (that's you!).

a. Simple Bar Graph

Choose one of the variables "What is your favorite music?"

Create a bar chart to summarize this class data for the variable you chose. Along the way, you will need to organize the responses into your own categories. When you do this, explain your organizational choices and why you made them to your reader.

(note: Google Sheets and Excel do have ways of making bar charts automatically, but that is not my intention for this assignment. Rather than just pressing a button to create the chart, I want you to construct it yourself by hand.)

Once you've created your chart, write a description of any interesting patterns or trends you notice.
