Data visualisation is a powerful method for representing data that would otherwise be difficult to interpret. It enhances clarity by displaying information visually. Key methods include comparing data, showing distributions, illustrating relationships, and revealing compositions. Common tools include charts, line graphs, and scatter plots. Authentic data sources, whether primary or secondary, shape the quality of visualisations. Ensuring data integrity is crucial, as accurate data informs decisions and actions, making validation essential for trustworthy results.
