Revise: Justifying Representation ChoicesA representation is a way of organising or displaying data. The same information can often be shown in several ways, but each representation draws attention to different features. A table makes exact values easy to find; a chart can make a pattern easier to notice.
Avoid vague reasons such as ‘it is clear’ or ‘it looks good’. Explain exactly what the representation makes easy to see.
There may be more than one suitable representation. Justify the one that best answers the question rather than claiming it is always best.
