I used Google Fusion to create\u00a0a graph displaying my data, which indicates the United States population in each decennial census from 1790 to 2010.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since there were only two columns – year and population – I figured a simple bar graph would be clear in organizing the population number on the y-axis versus the year on the x-axis. The graph allows us to encode values to the image\u00a0because we can take into consideration the length of the bars and the upward trend. When looking at the data itself, there’s a jumble of numbers without commas that makes the numerical value difficult to identify; however, inputing this information into a bar graph allows us to gauge the rise and decline.<\/p>\n

The information can lead us to consider more research questions, such as influences on increase of population throughout the decades. Things we could look into based off of the data are the quality of health facilities, reasons for fluctuating birth and death rate, water\/food accessibility, immigration\/emigration, etc. Also, the data encourages us to look into specific\u00a0states\/areas and how much they constitute the percentage of the total country population, so that we could target problem areas for research.<\/p>\n
