How can a graph help predict future trends?
By showing patterns in past data

What does a rising trend in a graph suggest?
A decrease in the subject being measured

A sudden increase
Continued decline unless external factors change
The data will disappear
A random fluctuation in numbers
How does identifying the quantities being compared help in analysis?
It allows for better organization of the graph

What goes on the x-axis? Choose all correct answers
Independent Variable
Dependent Variable
Day of Week
High Temperature
What is a common mistake when interpreting a graph?
Assuming correlation implies causation
Comparing different data sets
Analyzing the data thoroughly
Identifying trends and patterns
How can you verify the accuracy of a graph?
By focusing only on the graph's colors
By ignoring the data labels
By checking the source of the data
By assuming all graphs are accurate
What should you consider when choosing a graph type?
The type of data and the message you want to convey
