Criteria 19: Doughnut chart 

The doughnut chart is a variant of the pie chart, whereas the centre of the doughnut charts can be used for adding another pie chart, or any other vital information about the statistical data.

Criteria 20: Waterfall chart 

It is a form of data visualization which helps in comprehending the cumulative effect of positive and negative values of the variables. 

PART 2:  The data have been collected from the report by the World Bank on ‘the changing nature of work’. 

1. Criteria 7: Frequency polygon

The frequency polygon is the graphical representation of frequencies of each variable, where the graph is used to depict the shape of the statistical data.  From the above graphs, it can be deduced that the industrial employment on the high-income level is decreasing, whereas on the global level it is uniform. The x-axis of the graph shows the timeline from 1993 to 2017 and y-axis shows the industrial employment as the percentage of total employment. The graph shows the change or fluctuation in the industrial employment over time, and the variables in the graphs are a timeline. With the change in the global level, the fluctuations in the middle income, low income and high-income group are also revealed.

2. Criteria 9: Minimum and maximum value chart 

The minimum and maximum value chart is a graphical representation of the minimum and the maximum value of different variables in one chart. According to the above diagram, the minimum and maximum percentage of the jobs at risk due to automation is presented. The minimum and maximum percentage or the range of jobs at risk due to automation are represented in differed countries, such as United States, Japan, Lithuania, Cyprus, Ukraine and Bolivia. The minimum and maximum value chart is appropriate for this statistical data, as it clearly defines the minimum, the maximum and range of the percentage of jobs at risk of automation. 

3. Criteria 13: 100% stacked bar graph 

The 100% stacked bar chart is a type of stacked bar chart, where the categorization of the data of the variables, will be done based on the relative frequency or percentage of each category. The above chart showcases that data collected from the survey regarding the improvement due to technology in the economy, society and quality of life. The 100% stacked bar graph also shows that from 100% respondents, some percentage of responders responded that the impact of the technology is either very positive or fairly positive or fairly negative or very negative or it depends. 

4. Criteria 3: Bar graph 

The data in a bar graph is represented in rectangular bars, where the frequency of each variable is defined by the height and breadth of the rectangle is equal and defines the variable. The Bar graph can be vertical or horizontal. According to the above graph, it represents the time and cost to start a new business over time. The above graph is the combination of the line graph and bar graph. In the graph, the x-axis represents the timeline, from 2005 to 2017, whereas the y-axis on left shows the number of days to start a business and y-axis on right showcases the cost as the percentage of income per capita. The graph shows that over time, the time and the cost to start a business has decreased.

5. Criteria 6: Stacked Bar chart
