Aufgabenstellung
Zu beurteilende Grafik
Teenage births in rich nations
Criticism
- The graph has no title. People looking at the graph can not see immediately what the graph is about.[Few 1, 2004]
- Data is not ordered in a meaningfull sequence.[Few 1, 2004]
- Legend describing the meaning of read circles stands inside the table. Put it on top?
- Filled circles increase data ink, use unfilled circles instead?
- The lines are to strong, use less satured color, remove shading
