Have you encountered many/any box-and-whisker plots in the course of your work? On other dashboards?
I have only encountered them rarely.What about histograms? A few.
If you have little or no prior experience with them, do you think they are easy to understand? Not really at first glance.
If not, can you think of some alternate ways to display distribution data? The bar graphs that have bars above & below a certain point (i.e. a median). Maybe scatter plots?
Which is the best type of graph to show ranking? Bar graph.
If we rank claims from most to least frequent, which service category would be at the top of the list (most frequent)? For the Northern Zone, Curative Care Visits.
Which would be at the bottom? For the Northern Zone, Speech Therapy.
Is this true for both Eastern and Northern Zones, or do the rankings differ? For the Eastern Zone, the service category at the top is same as Northern: Curative Care Visits, and the service category at the bottom are: Inpatient Medical & Inpatient Obstetrics.
Which type of graph do you think is best for showing Flores del Mundo’s membership trends over the course of the year? I think a line graph would be best to show membership trends over the course of a year.
Does your answer change if you’re graphing total membership versus employee/spouse/dependent? Yes. I think a bar graph with 3 bars (employee, spouse, dependent) over the course of the year would most clearly show how each category compares.
Does your answer change if you want to show Eastern and Northern on the same graph? I would still stick with a bar graph with 3 bars (employee, spouse, dependent) but I would have a color bar for Eastern (let’s say orange) and a different color bar for Northern (let’s say blue) so it is easy to see how the employee/spouse/dependent membership compares for both regions.
