1.) In the graph located at the bottom, what is the general trend as you hover over different years? 2.) Do you find any years that don’t follow the general trend? What does the author claim is the reason behind these outliers? 3.) Why do you think the author chose his/her visualization to have a circular shape? 4.) Though the two visualizations depict the same data, why might it be advantageous to display both? 5.) Why do you think the graph below started with Fall? Why not start with Winter? How might this help with locating trends?
1.) In the graph located at the bottom, what is the general trend as you hover over different years? It seems like there is usually a normal distribution of people getting sick with the max of the curve being in winter. 2.) Do you find any years that don’t follow the general trend? What does the author claim is the reason behind these outliers? There are a few years where a lot of people got the flu in season other that winter, and the graphic said that this was the result of outbreaks of a ceritn type of flu.
3.) Why do you think the author chose his/her visualization to have a circular shape? It reminds you that the years are sort of circulat, after summer ends its now spring, if you look at the line plot at the end of the graphic it seems like after summer the world just ends over and over again, but with the circle there is a flow. 4.) Though the two visualizations depict the same data, why might it be advantageous to display both? Look at ans to question 3. 5.) Why do you think the graph below started with Fall? Why not start with Winter? How might this help with locating trends? I think it would not matter where the person started as they would always get the information that there is usually more cases in the winter and see the outliers, as the circle plot above is helpful.
