Making Data Visualizations: Reflection

January 27, 2019

The most interesting data visualization I was able to create with the data provided was the bar graph that showed the number of women, number of men, and their ages (the people who were in the survey). Women and men were the bars, men being a red bar and women being a blue bar right next to each other, so I could see if there were more men or women surveyed of a specific age group. There are ages in numbers stemming from 7 to 73, and bars for most ages.

It was the most interesting to me because I could see that between the ages 19 and 33, there was a higher number of men than all ages. Overall, there was a higher number of men surveyed as well. This graph lets me physically see this information. It's also visually appealing, because the most important information is in red and blue on a white background. It's easy to understand, as is the scale.
