The given line graph reflects the monthly data for a year of the number of people in millions that watched the Channel 6 news at 4 different times in a day.

Overall, it is evident that the highest viewership was for the 6 pm telecast in Jan while the least people watched the news at noon during the 12 months under consideration.

Nearly 5 million people watched the 6 pm news in January making it the highest while only 1.4 million tuned in for the telecast at 1pm. The viewership for the 6 pm news kept fluctuating between a dip of 3.9 million in March, followed by a spike to 4.6 million in April, then the figures decreased to 3.2 million in August, reflected a marginal rise to 4 million in September and a final decrease to around 3.2 million in December. In contrast, viewership of the 1 pm news hovered around 1.2 to 1.3 million in the 12 months under consideration.

Compared to the above, the number of people that watched the 9.30 pm news started at 3.2 million in Jan, increased steadily from February to touch 3.8 million in May, then it fell drastically to 1 million in August, post which it rose sharply to 2.5 million in September and then steadily to touch 3 million in December. Viewership of the 11 pm news started only in May with negligible numbers of 0.2 million. This spiked exponentially to 4.1 million in August only to decline significantly to less than a million in December. (255 words)

We have been given a line graph which delineates the average length of stay in the private and public hospitals in Queensland, Australia in the previous year for the treatment of serious injuries suffered by different age groups.

Overall, it is evident that patients with grave injuries were admitted for a greater number of days in public hospitals as compared to private ones, with the 25-29 and 40-45 age groups patients staying for the longest duration.

Considering the 0-4-year-olds with serious injuries, they were admitted to public hospitals for around 5 days, making them the least. These figures however kept increasing with the age of the injured, resulting in the 25-29 and 40-44-year-olds staying for an average of 59 and 57 days respectively, with a slight dip in the days stayed by the injured 30-34 and 35-49-year-olds. The average length of stay reduced considerably for the 45-49-year-olds to 35 days, then further to around 28 days for the next age group and kept fluctuating around the levels of 20 to 25 days for the remaining patients, the last age recorded being 85+.

None of the patients with serious injuries in the 0 to 14 years of age were admitted in private hospitals, with the lowest length of stay being around 8 days for the 15-19-year-olds. The length of stay were quite high for the 25-30-year-olds at 35 days, post which it reduced and fluctuated between 10 to 20 days for the other age groups. (244 words)

The given line graph reflects oil consumption in four different regions in millions of barrels per day, from 2009 until present, and predicted figures up to 2030.

Overall, the USA was by far the biggest consumer of oil from 2009 until present and the trend is predicted to remain the same until 2030. In contrast, although Western Europe and Japan’s consumption were higher initially, compared to China and the Middle East, the usage has been forecasted to decline.

In 2009, oil consumption in the USA was around 9 million barrels per day. This figure rose to around 10 million barrels per day in 2015, which was the highest among all four regions, before beginning to fall. Figures are predicted to continue falling to around 7.5 million barrels per day by 2030. Meanwhile, oil consumption in Western Europe and Japan was around 4 million barrels per day in 2009 and has been in decline since. Figures are predicted to reach 2 million barrels by 2030.

Oil consumption in China and the Middle East was around 2 million barrels per day each in 2009. The consumptions by both countries increased marginally to over 2 million barrels per day in 2015. By 2030, figures for China and the Middle East are predicted to reach 3.5 and 3 million barrels per day respectively. (219 words).

We have been given a line graph that depicts the number of fishers in millions in 5 continents in the years 1980, 1990, and 2000.

On the whole, it is evident that Aisa had the largest number of fishers while Europe the least.

Considering Asia, there were around 8 million fishers in 1980. This number rose slightly to 13 million 1990, only to escalate to 24 million in 1980. The number of fishers recorded in Africa in 1980 were the lowest at around 2 million. They were marginally higher at 3 million in the years 1990 and 2000.

The figures for South America and Europe in all the years under consideration were the same at around 2 million for the former and 1 million for the latter. There were approximately 1 million North American fishers in 1980 while the figures for 1990 and 2000 were marginally more at 2 million. (150 words)

We have been given a line graph which reflects the cost in euros of 800 grams of four varities of bread between the years 2001 and 2005.

Overall, it’s observed that there were highest fluctuations in the prices of per 800 grams of wholegrain and brown bread, and steady growth in the other two, with an initial spurt in the 800 grams cost of white bread.

In 2001, the price of 800 grams of wholegrain bread was the highest at 0.8 euros. The cost escalated to peak at 1.8 euros in 2002, only to plunge to €1 in 2003, fall further to €0.7 in 2004 and finally touch €0.8 in 2005. The other three varieties of bread started off with a price of €0.6 in 2001, but brown bread rose sharply to €1.5 in 2002, followed by ups and downs in the cost between €1.4 and €1.6 in subsequent years.

While the price of 800 grams of Rye bread decreased a bit to €0.5 in 2002, the cost of white bread went up to €1 in 2002 and continued its stable upward trend to reach €1.2 in 2005. Rye in the other hand increase marginally to €0.6 in 2003, remained unchanged in the next year, and increased slightly to €0.7 in 2005. (212 words).

The given line graph delineates the daily fluctuations in the ozone content in the air in μg/m3 from 6 am to midnight, for 4 years starting from 2020 to 2023.

Overall, it is evident that the levels represented a sine curve in 2020 and 2021, but recorded considerable variations in 2022 and 2023.

Ozone content in the air was recorded to be between 20 to 30 μg/m3 in all the four years under consideration at 6 am. While the figures fell to around 18 μg/m3 at 8 am in 2020 and 2021, they rose to 40 and 42 μg/m3 respectively in 2022 and 2023. A sharp rise in the ozone content in the air was observed at 10 am 2020 and 2021 to levels of 70 and 72 μg/m3 respectively. These values continued to rise to touch around 80 μg/m3 at 3 pm, then they plunged over the next 8 hours to reach 29 and 36 μg/m3 at midnight.

In comparison, Ozone levels recorded a slight dip to 35 μg/m3 at 9 am in 2022, then spiked to 62 μg/m3 at 11 am, only to record a fluctuating trend, reaching the highest level of 85 μg/m3 at 5 pm, then declining steadily to 61 μg/m3 at midnight. The levels reflected a similar trend in 2023 with marginal peaks and valleys to record a spike to 71 μg/m3 at 7 pm, then 85 μg/m3 at 11 pm, and reduce slightly to 80 μg/m3 at midnight. (244 words)

We have been given a graphical representation of the percentage of population belonging to different age groups in the US, along with the forecast for 2040.

Overall, we can see that initially the percentage of the 15-64-year-olds were the highest while the percentage of population in the aged 65+ was the lowest. The proportion of the senior citizens however increased over the years and have been predicted to be the highest while that of the other two age groups decreased, and have been forecasted to reduce further.

In 1960, around 55% of the US residents belonged to the age group 15-64, while only 15% were senior citizens (65+). The ratio of the 15-64-year-olds fluctuated marginally for the next 3 decades to reach 60% in 1990. In comparison, the proportion of the 65+ population was on an upward trend and it touched 20% in 1990. This increasing trend continued for this age group and is predicted to touch 45% in 2040. The percentage of population in the 15-64 age group fell on the other hand, from 1990 onwards and was forecasted to reach the same percentage as the 65+ age group, that is 45% in 2040.

30% of the population were in the age group 0-14 in 1960. This percentage kept decreasing over the years to reach almost 10% in 2020. The percentage has been predicted to remain constant up to 2040. (231 words).

The given line graph represents the amount spent (in NZ $) by visitors from 5 different countries while visiting New Zealand between the years 1996 to 2014.

Overall, it is evident that the expenses incurred by tourists from Australia and the US, to New Zealand, were the highest in the period under consideration, while the Japanese and Chinese spent the least.

In 1996, Australian visitors spent slightly over 1000 NZ$, and the Americans, around 800 NZ$. Expenses by the Australians kept increasing steadily initially up to 2002, then it increased sharply to peak to almost 2300 NZ$. It finally declined to 2000 NZ$ in 2014 after a few highs and lows. In contrast, expenses of the Americans increased at a steady pace up to 2004, before rising to spike at 1600 NZ$ in 2010 then falling significantly to 1200 NZ$ in 2014.

Both the Japanese and the UK visitors spent only 500 NZ$ in 1996, then spending by the Japanese shot up to 1000 NZ$ in 2002, and that of the UK visitors fell sharply to 200 NZ$. Japanese spending then declined first, then gradually to touch 520 NZ$ in 2008, while spending by the UK visitors reflected a huge rise to 900 NZ$. After some minor fluctuations, costs incurred by Japanese tourists touched around 510 NZ $ in 2014 and that of the UK visitors were at 700 NZ$.

Lastly, spending by the Chinese visitors were negligible in 1996, but it rose at a steady pace to peak at 500 NZ $ in 2004, then it fell sharply to almost 200 NZ$ before rising gradually to almost 500 NZ$ in 2014. (272 words)
