Trends and fluctuations:
These graphs illustrate the vocabulary words "trend" and "fluctuation."
The graph below shows an increasing trend line with regular, cyclical fluctuations. The fluctuations are real. They are due to summer/winter seasons.
The graph below shows fluctuating data with no clear trend. The fluctuations are random, and may be due to the sensitivity of the measuring instrument rather than a real physical cause.

Hi AlpheccaStars,

Hi AlpheccaStars,
I would like to ask you a question. I should use the number or the percentage word in table instead of figure as you highlighted above.
Please advise. Thanks a lot.
You can use "figure" to refer to a data value in a very limited context - that is business or economic financial reporting. That is why you see "figure" being a synonym for "number" in the dictionary.
Here are some examples. Note that the word is usually plural and it refers to money in some way:
Sales figures were higher last quarter than the same period last year.
The manufacturer is scheduled to report detailed figures for last year tomorrow.
The anemic job figures for November were revised upward.
As the box office figures show, this movie is a blockbuster.
Better-than-expected US economics figures also did their part to raise the stock market indices.
India typically reports its Gross Domestic Product figures in April of the following year.
Task 1 exercises are not usually on this topic, so avoid using "figure" in Task 1.
Use the names of the data values as given in the chart, table or graph. Use pronouns to avoid repetition.
Fully noted! Thank you.
