i think that the F1 races are on the 27-29th of this month.
Based on the article, i can see that many people know about the F1 races but not many are excited, although they are interested in watching the F1 races. Quite some people think that Singapore is capable and a good place of hosting the F1 races. there is also only a few people who knows when the F1 races are being held.some of the people's expectations are also too high, thinking that Singapore did not do enough for the F1 races.
i Feel that statictics is good because you can illustrate quite a lot in a small space, and it is also quite neat too.I feel that a bar graph is the best because it is easy to draw and can illlustarte quite a lot, and you can compare data on it easily, and it is probably the easiest thing to draw too.

1)Yes. Because it allows us to understand the different percentage easily as it visual.

2)news article link:http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_world_business/view/376093/1/.html

3)I chose the bar graph as it allows us to compare in detail of the increase and decrease of the oil price. I think the bar graph is suitable because the cost of crude oil prices is presented over a short time period but if it is compared over a longer time span I think the line graph will perform better than bar graph as it is more suitable for a long time period.
