This module discusses why graphs are important tools for depicting data; business managers need to apply methods and techniques to the information collected to produce structured deliverables and represent data in a manner that simplifies complex information.

"The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is simply the average value of 30 large industrial stocks. Big companies like General Motors, Goodyear, IBM, and Exxon are the kind of companies that make up this index" (Lott, 2008). If you are interested in the methodology used in calculating the average, read the What is the Dow Jones Industrial Average? and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Using the structure of the Dow and after reviewing the graphs for the first and second quarters of the year, describe the activity that has occurred this year.
