Question

Explain why the graph below might be misleading.

Comparison of Funds Money Earned Fund A Fund B Fund C Fund D

a. The graph is not misleading.
b. The horizontal axis has intervals that are not comparable.
c. The bars are in different colors, so it skews the information,
d. The graph has no scale, so it's impossible to compare the money earned.​

Answer 1

d. The graph has no scale, so it's impossible to compare the money earned.​

Explanation:

The graph is misleading because it has "no scale" in response to the money earned. It would actually be hard to plot them on the graph without the scale. If you look at the graph, you won't be able to compare how much funds Fund C made in comparison to Fund A, B and D. You won't be able to tell the actual gap in the money they've earned. The data above is not clearly illustrated in this case.
