Exercise 1 - Quantify and Visualize Data (Week 1)

On the first exercise, we were assigned to choose and collect one data to be presented visually, it can be either a jar of stuffs or an emergency bug out bag. As I started searching through my house, I found some toys that my little brother owned to be use as the data. From all his toys, I noticed that the plastic animal toys and collection of his cars, motorcycle, and etc were the most interesting. However, the amount of animal toys are fewer than the cars which will only produce a limited data. So from that, I decided to go for the toy cars.

Next step is data sorting and arrangement. I arranged the cars by classifying them into 9 different colors, white, black, purple, yellow, orange, green, blue, grey/silver, and lastly red. Black taken up the most
