There is a long history of people representing quantitative data visually on paper in books, newspapers, magazines, and more recently digitally on computer screens, the screens of mobile devices, and other digital devices. Watch Tommy McCall’s TED Talk on the joy and ingenuity of visually representing quantitative data.
Initial Post
Discuss how Tommy McCall, and others before him, have come up with new ways of representing quantitative data and give one specific example from the TED Talk.
Come up with two variables from your observation of real life that, in your view, are related, indicate the name of these variables as well as why these variables are related; determine which variable is the dependent variable and which one is the independent variable. Draw a line graph by hand, labeling the vertical and horizontal axis consistent with your choice of variables. The line in the line graph has to represent, what, in your view, is the relationship between the two variables. Describe your graph verbally in your post (no need to upload the graph itself).
