a) Yes the graph is clearly labeled as it shows the percentage of major religious groups throughout the globe.

c) The article does provide the W's of the variable.
Who: The entire global population
What: Major religious groups
When: 2010
Where: N/A
Why: To show the diverse religion groups that the majority of the world practices.

a) Yes, the graph is clearly labeled.
b) No, the graph does NOT violate the area principle. The length of the bars are proportional to the values.
c) The variables under consideration are the age groups because there are no units available. The accompanying article does not give us all the W's of the variables, but you are able to retrieve them from the graph.
What: Number of times they use the internet
Who: Different age groups
When: Conducted from July 18- September 30, 2013
Where: N/A
Why: To compare how different age groups differ in the amount of time they spend on the internet
d) I believe the article correctly interprets the data. The article states that older adults who use the internet, make it a habit to visit it almost every day. The graph supports this as it shows that 71% of adults 65 years and older use the internet almost every day.
