Statistical literacy skills are essential for college students to master, but the facts show that college students' statistical literacy abilities have not achieved the expected results. College students' low statistical literacy ability is due to their inability to use statistics in everyday life and understand data presented in graphical form. This study is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach that describes college students' statistical literacy when solving graphics-related problems. The research participants were divided into groups depending on their initial statistical abilities: high, moderate, and low. Three students were chosen from each category to have their work results examined based on statistical literacy features such as understanding, interpreting, and communicating data. The results showed that students with high initial statistical abilities could understand, interpret, and communicate data well, provide logical reasons, and evaluate data critically. Students with moderate initial statistical skills can understand the data well but still have difficulty interpreting and communicating data and providing logical reasons. Meanwhile, students with low initial statistical abilities have not correctly understood, interpreted, and communicated data. As a result, there are many errors in answering, and they have yet to be able to provide arguments supporting their answers. © 2024 Author(s).
