Reflection
Understanding how to interpret and use the information presented in all types of graphs is quite useful when you apply it to real life situations. With all the different medical studies and social experiments becoming more and more relevant on the news, knowing just why and how the information is presented could be beneficial to those wanting to form solid opinions on matters. As you can see from the signature assignment, different treatments create different results. Wanting to choose the most effective one is made easier when there is something to base your decision on. Sometimes the graphs showcase an entirely different view on subject or may even enforce a belief or view you may have. I hope that in the future I can take information and learn from it using the math skills I have acquired over the course of this semester. Knowing how to interpret information is much more rewarding when you can do it for yourself and not have to rely on others.
