Interpreting figures requires understanding the context and details of the data presented. Here are some steps to follow:
Understand the Axis: Check what each axis represents (e.g., time, cases, rates). Check the Scale: Ensure you understand the scale used (e.g., logarithmic, linear). Identify Trends: Look for patterns, such as increases or decreases over time. Compare Groups: Observe differences between groups, if applicable. Consider Context: Think about external factors that might influence the data (e.g., public health interventions, seasonal variations).
