Why? The red and orange are close in color, otherwise it shows if it is green in color, more women commit suicide than men, then the ratio goes up by color

You needed to explain that for it to make sense

  • 1: same number of men and women
  • 2: twice as many men, as women
  • 3: three times as many... Etc
  • x: x times as many men

Does this help?

It does but if it was good it wouldn’t need an explanation.

The title explains it... If it isn't clear by that, it explains what that means in the text below. That my explanation was necessary is not really the fault of the infographic

I disagree.

[–] bigpEE@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I agree with the OP. You're bad at reading graphs, unfortunately

Apparently I’m not the only one since this thread was started by someone else who was confused. And should you have to be good at reading graphs to understand one? They should present the information in a clear easy to understand manner. This failed at that.
