Question

practice it!
a scientist tracks the number of tornadoes in different states.
which is the best way to organize their data to show patterns?
line graph
pie chart
bar graph
data table

Explanation:

A line graph is ideal for showing patterns over time or in a sequence. Since the scientist is tracking the number of tornadoes (which can change over time or across different states in a sequential sense to observe trends), a line graph would effectively display the patterns. A pie chart is for showing parts of a whole. A bar graph is good for comparing discrete values but not as effective for showing patterns. A data table just lists data without visualizing patterns.
