Question

The graph to the right uses cylinders to

represent barrels of oil consumed by two
countries. Does the graph distort the data or
does it depict the data fairly? Why or why not?
If the graph distorts the data, construct a
graph that depicts the data fairly.


Does the graph distort the data? Why? Or Why not?

A. Yes, because 3D objects always distort the data in graphs.

B. Yes, because the graph incorrectly uses objects of volume to represent the data.

C. No, because the graph is technically correct.

D. No, because the proportions are accurate.

Answer 1

C. No, because the graph is technically correct.
