I chose the bar graph over the pie chart because it made more sense for the data we had. The pie chart, or circle graph, is mostly used for representing data in percentages. Bar graphs are all about categorizing and how many people are in each category. Our data, specifically mine, was about different eye colors people have. My categories were "Brown", "Blue", "Green", and "Other". Then we counted up how many people had each different colored eyes (24 brown, 1 green, 1 blue, and 1 other). The bar graph made more sense to use because it fit our data perfectly. If we used the pie chart, we would have had to convert all of our data into percents, and it would have been a lot more work. Basically, it was more work then we needed to do.
