The data shows three different kinds of books bought by non-book club members in a month. It can be clearly seen from the data that magazines were the most popular books among non-book club members. In contrast, the book club members apparently did not quite like them. There were only 33 books bought by the members.

Compared to Magazines, non-fiction books were the most popular among the book club members. 942 books were sold. As shown in the data, among the non-book members, group of people who like it best were college students (194).

The graph illustrates the data on the rate of children watching TV and listening to radio every day and night reported in 1994.

According to the data, it can easily be seen that radio became so popular in the morning. The number of students listening to radio increased dramatically from 6.00 am to about 8.15 am. However, as is shown in the figures, the percentage of children listening to radio declined gradually after 8.15 from 25% to less than 11%. And it also shows that radio became little popular from afternoon to evening for children.

On the other hand, we can see from the graph that children liked watching TV from afternoon to evening. The data shows that the percentage of children above 4 years old rose significantly after 4 pm and reached a peak at over 45%. However, TV became unpopular after 8.00 pm for children, and the percentage dramatically decreased until 2 am. This was probably because children of age above 4 had a rest and slept early after having a lot of activities all day long before.

The pie chart and the figure illustrate the Coca Cola products distribution and share prices from 1996 to 2000 in five different countries.

The pie chart shows that the total products distribution across the five different continents in four years was 17.1 bn with the highest rate intake in the North America (30.7 bn). The second place was Latin America with 25.7 bn, and the three remaining continents were Europe (20.5 bn), Asia (16.4 bn) and Africa and Middle East (7.0 bn) of the total products distribution.

The figure shows the data of Coca Cola share prices from 1996 to 2000. It can be seen from the data that the peak of price was reached in 1998 with the price around 75 dollars. In the beginning of 1996, Coca cola firstly started the price around 32 dollars, and it significantly increased almost 70 dollars in a year. Even though the price slightly declined a bit in several months, the company could successfully push the price and significantly reached 70 dollars before the peak in 1998. However, it shows that the company was not able to maintain the price and it finally dropped gradually from 1998 to 2000. It was shown in the figure that there was an effort to increase the price from 49 dollars to over 56 dollars before 2001.
