Abby's scribepost for September 25

What we did in class today is we move on to the next section of Chapter 1, and the title is Misrepresenting Data.

Believe it or not some people may misinterpret data and draw false conclusions when graphs are misleading.

Misleading features of graph may include the following:
1. Distorting the scale
2. Distorting the information by using visuals of different sizes



Our homework are on pages 20 and 21 on mytextbook.ca

Page 20: Show You Know




a) Explain how this graph could be misleading.

b) What conclusion does the graph suggest about the price of gas at the end of the day compared with the price at the beginning of the day?

c) Describe how to redraw the graph to represent the data more accurately.





Page 21: Show You Know



a) Explain how this graph could be misleading?

b) What conclusion does the graph suggest about favorite lunch specials?

c) How could you redraw the graph to display it more accurately?


Here's a video I made. Hope you like it! (:


Thanks for viewing my scribe. (:

I know but I dont know what knind of song I should put and I have to pick a song carefully because if I didn't people whose viewing the video might get distracted and pay more attention to the song instead to the things Im saying.. so yeah, Thank you for pointing that out (:

Hi Abby

Mr Montgomery here. I teach maths to kids your age in Perth Western Australia.

Thanks for taking the time to write in your blog. I'm sure Mr Harbeck appreciates it.

I would have like to have been able to read the answers to these questions.
