- Abstract
- This paper explores the potential of enhancing effective communication of information arising from statistical analyses to a non-statistical audience using various graphical forms. In this regard we can learn a lot from the business world where often senior management don’t have the time to wade through complex summary tables of statistical analyses. It is far more efficient to use good graphic displays in order to communicate the essential ideas. Modern computer software packages offer a goldmine of opportunities to present statistical information to non-statistical audiences. As communicators we need to provide appropriate experiences within the structure of our teaching and/or consulting programs. The importance of context in understanding graphical output is discussed as well as examples of a few of the many and various graphical options available in several commonly used software packages.; E1
