=PQE= Use the PQE technique to answer questions about graphs.
 * P – general pattern
 * Q – quantification
 * E – exceptions

There are three steps in describing a distribution pattern or graph using the PQE technique:

The **General Pattern (P)** – this is generally something that you notice about the overall data. It might be a dominant colour or category on a map, or the shape of a line on a graph.


 * Quantification (Q)** – this is the adding of statistics to give specific detail to the pattern and to define the pattern more closely. To assist in quantification it is common to name regions and provide examples of the pattern using statistics.


 * Exceptions (E)** – where something does not fit the overall pattern, it is known as an exception. Exceptions need to be identified and quantified.
