Goals • Identify different types of visual data • Understand why we use visual data • Practice how to read visual data in the correct way
Visual Data • We read visual data in many ways.
Observations vs. Inferences • Observation: You use one or more of your five senses to know or determine something. • Inference: You make an explanation for the observation. • Example: • You see steam rising off of a cup of coffee. (Observation) • The coffee is hot. (Inference)
How to read visual data • Describe it (axis, legend) • Describe what’s on it (data/trends) • Make inferences
