Rules for data and graph:
1. Data must be publicly available, or, you must have permission in writing to share that data publicly. Sources must be provided. You must be able to calculate the mean, the standard deviation, a proportion or perform linear regression from the data. Do not simply use descriptive statistics calculated by someone else in their study.
2. Data must be unbiased, particularly if you are collecting it. Data collection techniques must be provided.
3. No experiments on humans or animals are permitted.
4. You may display your data as circle graphs, bar graphs, scatter plots, histograms, or another graph appropriate for your data.
