    Question Creating Graph/Chart for some Data

    Hi guys,

    I have never posted here before. I am in college and in a biology lab. Basically, my group did an experiment where we tested termite attraction to certain products. We pit 2 products against each other in 2 opposite chambers, put the termite in the middle, and recorded where the termite went.

    Here is the data:

    Day 1:
    Round 1:
    paint v water = paint
    paint v Termite Killer (TK) = paint
    paint v bleach = paint
    bleach v TK = TK
    bleach v water = water
    TK v water = TK

    Round 2:
    paint v water = neither
    paint v Termite Killer = TK
    paint v bleach = paint
    bleach v TK = TK
    bleach v water = water
    TK v water = TK



    Day 2
    Round 3: WITH TIME
    paint (0:00) v water (0:00) = unresponsive
    paint (0:00) v Termite Killer (4:37) = TK
    paint (0:00) v bleach (1:41) = bleach
    bleach (0:00) v TK (4:50) = TK
    bleach (0:00) v water (0:00) = unresponsive
    TK (4:15) v water (0:24) = TK

    Round 4: WITH TIME
    paint (0:00) v water (0:00) = unresponsive
    paint (0:10) v Termite Killer (4:24) = TK
    paint (0:00) v bleach (1:15) = bleach
    bleach (0:00) v TK (4:36) = TK
    bleach (0:00) v water (0:00) = unresponsive
    TK (4:21) v water (0:00) = TK


    The times for Day 2 were a change in our experiment. We just timed the termite for how long it spent with 1 of the products during a 5 minute period.

    I was hoping I could make 2 graphs/charts/some graphical representation of my data but have no idea how. Any help?

    Thanks

    Chart for biology.xlsx

    Thank you Dilip, that helps for day 2. I think I can finish now. You are a great help.

    Can you tell me instructions on how to make a chart like you did? I have added the data for day 2

    Re: Creating Graph/Chart for some Data

    Thanks. Do you know how to possibly create this graph with a plus/minus system?

    Like if paint beats water, then paint gets a score of 1.
    If bleach loses to paint, the bleach gets score of -1.

    Here is an example attached:

    Untitled.png

    But is there a way I can make just 1 graph the average of the 4 graph's data (assumes that the product on day 2 with the most time gets the +1, less time gets -1). With standard deviations?

    Thanks

    Hi ur2l8,

    Gone through the image file you attached, but wanted to look into the data as well, could you provide the data so that I can give a practical try to this.. thanks.

    HI dilip, thanks for the help. I starred you.

    The information is in the first post. It is the same info as in the picture. Does this make sense? If not, I can make another chart.

    Thanks for the star...

    I have created a sample result for Paint and Water and created a chart.. you can add all results in similar manner.

    Re: Creating Graph/Chart for some Data

    Thanks. I will try this. Do you know how I could create standard deviations for the averages of the data?

    Thanks

    Hi ur2l8,

    For standard deviations, you can use STDEV function available in Excel. Thanks.
