I chose Graph 1: Los Angeles Climate Information
What do the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axes represent on the graph?
The horizontal axes in this graph represent the months in the year. January through December.
The vertical axes measures temperatures in Fahrenheit degrees, and also, inches 1 through 6, in precipitation throughout the year.
As well, there are two line graphs to represent the average lowest and highest temperature.
What information are you missing, if any, in order to be able to fully understand this graph?
In the description of the graph, I don’t believe that there is any information not included to understand the graph. However, the graph itself is missing that these numbers are averages, and we do not know what year we are graphing.
What point might a person try to make by including this graph in an article, advertisement, or presentation?
The point of the graph is to demonstrate the average temperatures and precipitation throughout the year in Los Angeles. A point someone might try to make with the use of this graph is to show how little precipitation we receive here in Los Angeles.
Why could this graph be considered misleading? How might you recreate the graph so that it is no longer misleading? Identify the purpose for the inclusion of the graph in the article.
This graph could be misleading because it does not emphasis on average numbers, or year. I would recreate the labeling of the graph to demonstrate that these are average numbers, and a specific year. Those who live in LA, know that temperatures can definitely exceed 80+ degree weather during the summer in recent years, so we don’t know what year they’re using for their graph.
Do you think this graph is potentially misleading because of the way it was drawn? Why or why not?
I do not think the drawing of the graph is misleading because in Los Angeles we do not ever fall below 40 degrees in the year on average, and again due to not knowing what year is being graphed, we can not assume that this specific year reached over 80 degrees on average. As well, our months never change in a year, and again due to not knowing the year, we cannot assume we received over 6 inches in precipitation.
