With increasing congestion and the level of pollution in major cities, governments are trying to
reduce the regular use of cars and encourage the use of public transport to travel to work. The
following table presents data on the methods of travel used by Australian workers by age groups
collected during on the census night for CENSUS 2016. The data are stored in file Assignmen
Dataset.XLS, TRAVEL sheet available in the Written Assignment folder. Using this data and
EXCEL, answer the questions below.

We want to analyze the given data using graphical descriptive method

1) Clustered Column :

For the graph below we can see that side by side comapriaion of the number of people from different age group using certain travelling method. Also which method of travel is most populer among the different agegroup.

2) 100% Staked Column : Using this graphical method we can observe that the share of % of the people from different group using certain method of travel. Eg. Younger people (age 15 - 24 prefer to use Car as passenger, Bicycle and Bus

3) Clustered Barchart : Using this we can observe number of people using certain travelling method of different age group. eg. In all age group people prefer to use car as driver for travelling purpose.

4) Stacked barchart : We can find the which age group prefer which travelling method also which age group travel most.

5) 100% Stcked Barchart: We can find the % of which age group prefer which travelling method.
