Question

Contrasting social media Democrats to real life Say they don't follow the news much 27% of Democrats on social media 59% of other Democrats As many know (I hope), what we see on social media often doesn't mirror real life. It's a filtered and algorithmically-driven point of view. This grows problematic when people make decisions based solely on what they see through their feeds. For The Upshot, Nate Cohn and Kevin Quealy look at the contrasts between the filtered view and the real life view and how it factors into voting

1. Describe in a couple of sentences what the data describes.

2. In one or two sentences, explain how the graphic helped you to understand the data and describe any conclusions about or reactions to the data you had.

3. How could you use this in your classroom?

Answer 1

According to US Democrat means a member of democratic party.

1.The data describes the number of democrats on social media and number of democrats in real life.Since all people do not follow social media so the number of people will differ.In real life there will be different number and in social media there will be different number.

2.We can see in graph the number of people in yellowish colour represent democrats and people in white(colourless) represent non democrats.In this way to identify the democrats and non democrats the graph becomes helpful.27% people on social media means out of 100 people 27 people are democrats.In this way percentage represents the data.

3.In this way graphical representation helps students to understand easily the data given and can analyse the data easily.

I hope you understand the solution.
