Arrangement/ Outline Project 2

Point 1 – Huff and Zompetti Readings

• Important to not just use sources visually
  • Able to make gaps in data look more or less significant than they actually are through the use of graphs –> get the audience to look at things in a certain way
• Statistical Evidence
  • Important to see how big the pool of people the statstics are coming from is
    • Smaller amount of people could make for less reliable results

Point 2 – Collected Evidence

• In class at the Panhandle to see how many people were wearing helmets
  • 2 10 minute sessions –> 20 minutes in total
    • Done in the late afternoon
    • First session
      • 38 wearing helmets and 11 not wearing helmets
      • Total of 49 people
      • 29 % not wearing helmets
    • Second session
      • 16 wearing helmets and 7 not wearing helmets
      • Total of 23 people
      • 43% not wearing helmets
    • Majority of the cyclists at this time who were not wearing helmets where white males
  • Outside of class –> 20 minutes in the Panhandle in the morning
    • 26 cyclists with helmets and 19 without
    • Mix of both males and females not wearing helmets
      • Majority of the people not wearing helmets were on rental bikes and stopping to look at maps –> possibly more tourists at this time of day
