5. Summary of Week 6

In this week you have looked at multiple datasets and how these can be presented so they are easily compared visually. If the data is paired data i.e. about the same person or object, it is known as bivariate data and scatter graphs can be used to look for a relationship between the two datasets.

You have also started to look at how representations of data may be interpreted by those who present it, be they scientists, politicians or journalists. This theme is continued further in Week 7 where you will look at misleading data and how to make sense of data claims.
