I chose this format of chart with this data set because I felt that it was the most inclusive while still being
the easiest to understand. Including the data for Boys and Girls (both yes and no), also includes the other
data more specific to age. Since all of the age groups are between 13 and 17, I decided to simplify the
chart to include the total numbers and title the chart to show teenager phone/computer data. The chart
easily compares the number of teen boys and teen girls that do or do not fall into each subcategory. The
clustered bar chart style makes it easy to read and understand while at the same time including all the data
of interest.

For the North Carolina Census Data I chose to make two charts that summarize the number of households
by type and the population/relationship status of those households. I first chose to summarize the
households by type data because it is an easier to compare census data since people often look into the
number of households and the type of each household since households are often looked at as individuals
since there are too many people to compare individually. I also summarized the relationship type by
household because it is interesting to see the breakdown of who owns a house in North Carolina. I chose
column charts for this data because it is easy to understand and isnt confusing to readers.
