Write about this graph and data, assuming that your audience don’t know what they’re looking at.

Write about this graph and data, assuming that your audience don’t know what they’re looking at.

In what you write, it should be less than a page (and definitely less than 1000 words) — it should identify the source of the data, and should “tell a story” about what is going on in the data. Point out what is interesting or notable about the result (and if it’s boring/unsurprising, you should note that as well). What is being shown by the graph?

Write about this graph and data, assuming that your audience don’t know what they’re looking at.
