In this article we analyze the role of addressing students first year of the Faculty of Economics. The role of the statistical knowledge is used (reading information from the diagrams) and knowledge for calculating percentages. The main emphasis is put on the ability of students to read relevant information from the diagram, and also their ability to interpret the information in the context of the task.

Keywords: Statistics, percents, histogram
