Question

The school asked students to help decide what to name the school gym. Each student was given a list of six names and asked to choose one. What type of graph would be the most appropriate to graph the results?

Answer 1

Explanation:

I'd suggest a bar graph. Some may suggest a pie chart, but it can be visually difficult to quickly tell the difference in sizes between slices of the pie in pie charts when there are a lot of options. With a bar graph, it is usually very easy to see which bar is the tallest.
