Depends on type of data. –For categorical you will typically use either a column or pie graph. –For numerical you can use dot plot, line graph, stem and leaf plot.
Dot Plot and Column Graph!
Graphs to display categorical or numerical discrete data.
Dot Plot
Dot Plots are a quick way to visually represent data.
Column Graph
The data is typically categorical.

Line Graph!
Graphs to display numerical continuous data.
Line Graph
A line graph is useful for showing trends in data that change over time.

Stem and Leaf Plot!
Graphs to display numerical discrete and continuous data.
Stem and Leaf Plot
A Stem and Leaf Plot is a special table where each data value is split into a "stem" (the first digit or digits) and a "leaf" (the last digit). They are useful for organising data and showing the frequency with which certain classes of values occur.

Pie Graph!
Graphs to display categorical data.
Pie Graph
A Pie Graph (Chart) is a useful visual way to display categorical data. Pie Charts are best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole.
This type of chart is a circle divided into a series of segments. Each segment (slice) represents a particular category.
