II and IV
I and II
I, II, and IV
I, II, III, and IV

2 Which of the following statements is true about data visualizations?
Visualizing data has only been possible since computers have become widespread.
Visualizations take many forms, from tables to charts to images.
There is always one exact visualization that should be used to show a particular aspect
of a dataset.
The only way to extract information from data is by using a visualization.
Ans = visualization take many forms, from tables to charts to images.
3Which of the following statements are true about using visualizations to display a dataset?
I. Visualizations are visually appealing, but don’t help the viewer understand relationships that exist in the
data
II. Visualizations like graphs, charts, or visualizations with pictures are useful for conveying information,
while tables just filled with text are not useful.
III. Patterns that exist in the data can be found more easily by using a visualization
I and II
II and III
III only
I, II, and III
Ans = II and III
4 What is misleading about this visualization
The Y Axis is upside down, so larger values are at the bottom and smaller values are
at the top
The Y Axis is truncated and not labeled, making the larger bar appear 4 times as large
as the smaller bar when it’s really only a 7% increase
The chart is omitting data from 2010
The chart makes it seem like more people working full time causes more people to be
on welfare, when really the two might not be related
