Rail Delay | Feb 27, 2019

This graph, which originally appeared in the New York Times, shows the 2018 daily train delays for a German commuter. Ask your students to look closely at this graph and discuss what they notice, what they wonder, and what headline they'd write for the graph. To join an online conversation about the graph moderated by the American Statistical Association, visit the New York Times Learning Network's "What's Going On in this Graph?" website on Wednesday between 9AM and 2PM Eastern. To see the original article that included the graph and other information, visit the New York Times link Thursday afternoon. https://www.nytimes.com/column/whats-going-on-in-this-graph ###NYT COLLABORATION### The scarf was knitted by Claudia Weber, 55, who is an office clerk in a travel agency in Munich over the year 2018.
