In my field, visual representations are used everyday. There are numerous types of representations of information used for many different things. The most used representation, i would have to say is graphs. Actuaries use graphs to calculate information and data as well as store and provide information with others. Graphs are used because they are easily read when presenting information. There are many different types of graphs; for example line graphs, sattered plots, bar graphs, pie graphs and probablity graphs. Probability graphs are probably the most frequently used by actuaries. I say this because actuaries use probability and statistics to determine the risk factors of certain outcomes. The green graph at the top of the page is an example of a probability graph.
