Questions to ask yourself • What is being presented? • Identify what they are telling you • Notice how the information is presented- percent or not. • Look for important information • Are the Data Trustworthy? • Consider the source- the source should be given • Look at the date of the data and area.
Questions to ask yourself • What conclusions can you make from the data? • Look for patterns/generalization. • A conclusion from this table: • Housing costs more than clothing. • Food and education are the same between rural and urban. • Clothing is very close in both areas. • It costs to raise a child in urban area than a rural.
Circle Graph • A circle graph is a good way to visualize data with many variables. • Circle graphs can only be done with percent data.
Double-Bar Graphs • This is another way to demonstrate data with many variables. • It can have more than two bars…p.12 • Unlike the circle graph, this can take both numerical and percent data. • One way to use this graph is to compare data over multiple years.
