Describe how these concepts intersect and why scales of measurement influence decisions about statistics and graphics. The length of your description must be about 4 to 7 sentences.

These standards intersect with the statistics that used to be in the assignment one data set due to the fact of the averages that were in every column. Different scales of measurement are necessary to reflect on consideration on when making decisions about statistics and graphing. For example, an interval-ratio dimension would suit quality with a histogram plan due to the fact of the statistics that is being shown. In histograms, we can better depict and symbolize facts that indicates differences in frequencies and/or percentages inside exceptional categories. With greater discrete data, that we can usually discover in nominal or ordinal measurements, it is higher to use a bar/pie layout to depict the data. Because the information has more of a natural order, it is less complicated for us to use a pie or bar design to show the measurements and facts taken.
