Every year the state department of education gathers statistical information from all schools to award a letter grade showing the school’s academic performance. Each school is given a rating based on the median of the grades. A school principal used a bar graph to send his report. He assigned the horizontal axis to the student’s name and the vertical axis to the grades.

Why was this a mistake?

I am not exactly sure...I believe that it should be switched around and the horizontal should be grades and the vertical the students name. Or he should have used a different graph entirely.
