Okay, this comes to me by suggestion from a friend. Not sure on the exact source. As usual, comments below the cut

Y-axis at zero, please: I almost didn’t notice this but it’s the biggest problem with this graph and many others. See how the iOS bars are generally taking up a little more space than the Android bars? Makes you think iOS has a slightly bigger market share, huh? No, not at all. The Y-axis here starts ridiculously at 75%, actually Android has close to 85% market share. This is confusing and extremely misleading, whether it was done intentionally or not I have no idea

Change over time: When your x-axis is time, you probably want to be showing change over time, huh? But there’s very little change here. That’s not a problem per se, but as a person who works with data and makes visualizations, I generally produce simple versions of a bunch of graphs, then pick the best ones and make them clear and pretty. This would not make it into my final presentation.

Percents vs values: I feel like this is going to be a recurring topic. Percents are not the solution to every data problem. Percents are not always the best way to show what’s going on. Here, I’d be very interested in the total size of the worldwide smartphone OS market. Even if the percents for Android and iOS are about the same, are they still both adding customers? It’s a really important business question as well. If the market is increasing then to increase your share you need to capture new users. If the market is steady or shrinking, then you need to focus on converting users of the other platform. That’s an actionable insight that this graph could be providing but isn’t.

Colors: This might seem like a minor point but it’s still very important. The blue and teal colors (and the green for Others) are too close together visually. I’ve seen plenty of graphs that look fine on one computer, but when you project or print you realize the colors are hard to distinguish and then the whole graph is useless. Use distinct colors. Also, and I’m not an expert here particularly, but I don’t think this is colorblind-friendly. Colorblindness is probably more common than you think, and it’s almost zero work to choose colorblind palettes for your visualizations so that they’re more accessible.

Solving Problems with Proportions – 6th Grade Math Course

● Ratios compare two amounts to show how much of one thing there is compared to another ● Proportions are when two ratios are equal, like in a cake recipe where the amount of flour and sugar must stay the same ● Percents are special ratios that compare a number to 100, and they're used in sales, taxes, and grades.

Joshh has gotten hard about Tyler before 😳

I'm not sure it all depends how likely attraction to Tyler is. I think at least he has been attracted unconsciously, and maybe roughousing with tyler once got him excited. 70% likely

The 1995 population of a small town was 8500 which represents a 20 percent decline from the 1990 population. What was the population of the town in 1990?

So the question is: [some population] - [20% of that population] = 8,500. In math, that’s:

x – 0.2x = 8,5000.8x = 8,500x = 10,625
