U.S. Bureau of the Census n What is the number of people under age 18 living in poverty in Salt Lake County, Utah?

Wrap Up: Web Searching Tips n Avoid search engines to locate statistics. n Use government agencies as starting points. n Search individual sites using terms: study, data, poll, report, survey, and research. n Narrow results being format-specific: figure, table, chart, graph, and caption.

Wrap Up: Web Searching Tips n Do not attempt to search for specific numbers. n Use “number-indicating” words: increase, decline, rise, fastest-growing, odds, and probability.
