Visual displays of data provide you and anyone else with a graphical display of what is often a complex array of quantitative data. A key strength of visualization is the ability to quickly enlighten you with key data. Rather than solely relying on your audience to interpret numerical values and statistics explained in a narrative, a visual display can easily illustrate descriptions, relationships, and trends. Although the focus is on simplicity, the researcher has an obligation to present these graphical displays in a clear and meaningful way.<\/p>\n

For this work, you will explore ways to appropriately display data.<\/p>\n

To prepare for this Discussion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
• Review the particular Learning Resources to frequency distributions and graphic displays of data.<\/li>\n
• Using the SPSS software, open the General Social Survey dataset found in the Learning Resources.<\/li>\n
• Next, create a figure or table from a few selected variables within the dataset.<\/li>\n
• Finally, think about what is good about how the data are displayed in the figure or table you created and what is not so good.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Then<\/h4>\n

  Post your display of the table or figure you created and provide an explanation of why this would be the best way to display the data provided?<\/p>\n

  Be sure to support your Main Post and Response Post with reference to the week\u2019s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style. <\/p>\n
