Seek and Find 11: Something Uncertain

Uncertainty, in various forms, is a fact of life when working with data. Conveying the uncertainty (in addition to everything else is hard).

For this week’s seek and find, you challenge is to find a visualization that shows uncertainty in one way or another. Usually, this is showing the uncertainty in the data, but it may also be other forms such as uncertainty in how to interpret the data.

In the description, please describe what the uncertainty is and how it is conveyed to the reader.

Hopefully, you can find something more interesting than a standard display of uncertainty (such as an error bar). But, if you do pick a simple visual display of uncertainty, try to figure out what it really means. Has the author provided sufficient information so the reader can interpret it correctly?
