This research investigated what are the basic skills of students in the mathematics, pedagogy and bachelor in Business Administration courses with respect to reading and interpreting of graphics and tables in the Statistics´ subject. The choice to investigate how the statistics is taught in mathematics, among many graduate courses occurred because we believe that the future teachers of mathematics will be responsible for teaching the basic statistics of a analytical manner. So, when they will be educators, they will be responsible for introduction the same statistics in school, but in a more pictorial and less analytical manner. The Administration course was chosen because we believe that it is a course that makes of the basic statistics a "discipline of service", with emphasis on reading and interpreting of graphs and tables and the applicability of its career in contexts of user statistics. In hypothesis that students had better performance ahead situations that involving the reading and interpreting of graphs and tables than students of the Mathematics and Pedagogy courses, we apply a diagnostic test 174 students divided in the following way: 72 students in Mathematics course, 48 students in pedagogy course and 54 students in Administration course. About the theoretical and epistemological aspect, our research follows an empirical analytic approach with perspective descriptive. The type of collection follows the precepts of a naturalistic or field research, and the analysis of results, a qualitative and quantitative approach that organize comparison between the performances of three groups. This analysis showed us that in the performance of students in Mathematics course were statistically more positive than the performance of students in administration and these, more positive than the performance of the students in pedagogy, refuting our research hypothesis
