• Timelines represent events chronologically, typically using lines, points, or blocks.
• Histograms display continuous data distributions using adjacent rectangular bars.
• Scatterplots use individual data points plotted on a coordinate grid.
• Bar graphs represent categorical data using separate rectangular bars.
• Pie charts represent numerical proportions using circular sectors.

Select the formats using rectangular bars

Using the Scatterplot Definition and Data Visualization knowledge points:

• Histograms and bar graphs both rely on rectangular bars to represent values.
• Scatterplots use points, not bars.
• Therefore, the two correct options are histograms and bar graphs.

Answer:

• timelines
