| Summary: | Reading, interpreting and evaluating statistical graphs is part of the competences that an ordinary citizen must achieve to confront with excellence the statistical information that is daily found in different media. For this reason, most countries have included statistical topics since primary education. The objective of this research is to analyze how a sample of Venezuelan citizens read and interpret statistical graphics. From a statistical graph, four questions of different levels of demand were elaborated. The questionnaire was answered by 407 Venezuelans with different levels of academic training. The results show that the studied group does not have difficulties to literally read the graph, but has problems when asked to report non-explicit information or to generate new information. These results can be a reference for the review of the citizen's statistical training processes. |
