Question 1: Which Spotfire visualization is best suited for displaying the distribution of a continuous variable using binned intervals?
- Bar chart
- Histogram (Correct answer)
- Scatter plot
- Pie chart
Correct answer: Histogram
A histogram groups continuous data into bins to show frequency distribution.
Question 2: In TIBCO Spotfire, what does a 'Trellis' visualization do?
- Combines two axes into a 3D view
- Splits a visualization into panels based on a category (Correct answer)
- Overlays multiple chart types
- Adds a secondary Y-axis
Correct answer: Splits a visualization into panels based on a category
Trellis (small multiples) splits one chart into a grid of panels, each filtered by a category value.
Question 3: Which chart type in Spotfire is specifically designed to show hierarchical data as nested rectangles?
- Tree map (Correct answer)
- Heat map
- Sunburst chart
- Box plot
Correct answer: Tree map
A tree map displays hierarchical data as proportionally sized nested rectangles.
Question 4: What is the primary purpose of a Box Plot in Spotfire?
- Show correlation between two variables
- Display distribution, median, and outliers of a dataset (Correct answer)
- Compare proportions of categories
- Visualize network connections
Correct answer: Display distribution, median, and outliers of a dataset
A box plot summarizes a dataset's distribution showing median, quartiles, and outliers.
Question 5: In Spotfire, which visualization type is most appropriate for showing relationships between nodes in a network?
- Scatter plot
- Network chart (Correct answer)
- Combination chart
- Waterfall chart
Correct answer: Network chart
A network chart (graphical table) is designed specifically to display relationships between connected entities.
Question 6: Which Spotfire chart allows you to display both bars and a line on the same visualization?
- Scatter plot
