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.

Scales of measurement influence decisions about statics and graphing because it
provides actual data supporting what they are trying to show. It will help those who are
reading the data be able to make better decisions based on the data they are seeing
because they will have the evidence to help them see what choice could be best for
them. These concepts intersect because each concept establishes data that supports
one another there for intersecting with one another. They help support each other in
the data they are providing.
