Illustrating Data

Illustrating Data

Using visual representations to present data makes them easier to understand. When you decide what kind of graph or chart best illustrates your data, you should consider what type of data you are working with.

Graphs and charts condense large amounts of information into easy-to-understand formats that clearly and effectively communicate important points

Different types of graph and chart have different uses.

Which kinds of graphs or charts would you use to illustrate these sets of information?  There is not necessarily one right answer, as several choices are often possible.

Check your answers, then discuss with your tutor what you need to work on next.
