🔍 Be a graph detective! Now that you know how a graph is made, you can read the graph to answer questions about the data inside it.
Concept
Interpreting a graph just means looking at it to find answers! 🎯 **How to Interpret:** Imagine a graph of "Favorite Ice Cream": * **Vanilla:** 🍦🍦🍦 (3 people) * **Chocolate:** 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦 (5 people) * **Strawberry:** 🍦 (1 person) You can ask all sorts of questions! 1. **How many people like vanilla?** Just count them! (3). 2. **Which flavor is the most popular?** Look for the longest row! (Chocolate). 3. **Which flavor is the least popular?** Look for the shortest row! (Strawberry). 4. **How many more people like chocolate than vanilla?** This is a comparison subtraction problem! (5 - 3 = 2 people).
