Is it possible to have a memo field store tables and graphs along with
text? I am wondering because I am supposed to develop a database
using ms access and the person I am creating it for wants it to be
able to do this. The purpose of the memo field is to provide the
reasoning as to why a specific test needs to be performed.

Memo fields are designed for text only, so you could put the reasoning
in there.
Tables and graphs are probably documents? You could store them in an
OLE field (but will have significant bloat unless in A2007 ACCDB
format) or in the file system with just the path in your database
(separate field, of course).
