Question

Choose the most accurate statement based on the graph shown.

The graph is a good representation of the data.
The graph is misleading because it uses 3-dimensional bars.
The graph is misleading because the vertical range is too small creating the impression that differences are greater than they actually are.

Answer 1

The graph is misleading because the vertical range is too small creating the impression that differences are greater than they actually are.

Answer 2

The most accurate would be the second statement: The graph is misleading because it uses 3-dimensional bars.

The vertical range is just enough. It only appears small because the bars are in 3D. It should have been in 2D so that we could directly trace it to how much frequency each category is. Even the axes are in 3D also.
