Why might the graph be considered misleading?
The scales on the x- and y-axes are unequal.
The interval on the x-axis is too large for the data set.
The scale on the y-axis misrepresents the difference in the heights of the bars.
The interval on the y-axis is too large for the data set.

Answer 2

Option c) The scale on the y-axis misrepresents the difference in the heights of the bars.

Explanation:

Given is a histogram that shows the number of properties in a town that are sold within certain periods.

On x axis is given number of days to sell and on y axis the number of properties

X axis is given in interval form with interval width 30 and on y axis scales are marked as 0,1,2....12,13 etc

The mistake is on y axis after 0, 10 is marked with unit distance from 0 but from 10 to 11 also distance is shown as 1 unit.

Hence correct option is

Option c) The scale on the y-axis misrepresents the difference in the heights of the bars.
