<P>Data literacy-the ability to work with, communicate about, and utilize data to solve problems and answer questions-has become an essential skill for students and professionals alike. Statistics are a ubiquitous feature of our lives: We encounter them as students, consumers, citizens, and professionals. Becoming more data literate means learning to appreciate the power and persuasion of data while also being aware of its limitations. This book introduces readers to the essential elements of exploring data and the lifecycle of a data investigation. Using specific examples, readers are guided through fundamental data literacy skills, such as reading, analyzing and placing data in context; communicating with numbers, tables, graphs, and words; asking the right questions; and becoming critical consumers of data. Topics covered include: What is Data Literacy?; A Step-by-Step Guide to Working with Data; Data Summarization and Analysis; Exploring and Presenting Data with Tables; Exploring and Presenting Data with Graphs; Exploring and Presenting Data with Words; Using Data to Support a Thesis; and Data Pitfalls and Cautions. A glossary of terms and worksheets on analyzing a data source, organizing data questions using the Five Ws, and selecting the right graph for the data complement the text.</P>
