A cross-section graph shows the comparison between different groups at a specific point in time, which is appropriate for comparing the average SAT scores for males and females in 2010. A scatter diagram would be used to show the relationship between two variables, a time-series graph would show changes over time, a time-stationary graph would show data that does not change over time, and a trend figure would show a pattern over time.
