Analyzing Real-World Graphs and Surveys

Reading and Interpreting Visual Data

In the real world, data is often shown in graphs, charts, and tables. These could be survey results, election polls, or your favorite team’s stats.

Making Sense of Data

You’ll need to extract information, spot trends, and sometimes do calculations to answer questions or make predictions.

Why It Matters

Understanding graphs and surveys helps you make informed decisions, like choosing a product based on reviews or understanding trends in your community.

Examples

  • Reading a bar graph to find which movie genre is most popular among your classmates.

  • Interpreting a survey pie chart to see what percentage of students prefer biking to school.
