Document Summary
Question 1: analyze this graph on environmental waste. The first problem is that the x-axis is not spaced correctly, since the amount of years between each designated line are different. The second problem is that the graph provides no context as to where this trash is or in what area. The third problem is that the numbers on the y- axis have no meaning since they are not distinguished as anything such as lbs or bottles. The year 2011 appears to be the year in which the amount of waste trashed in closest to the amount of waste recycled. Question 2: analyze this graph on rainfall in atlanta, ga. The two graphs above show very different pictures of the rainfall in atlanta. The first graph has an incorrect y-axis since it begins at 30 inches rather than 0 inches. The second graph is incorrect because the x-axis is not consistent in how many years are between each designated line.
