Graph A and Graph B both show the distance driven by a fleet of company cars (in thousands of kilometers) during the months from January to July. (Both graphs show exactly the same data.) Graph A Distance driven (in thousands of kilometers) Graph B Distance driven (in thousands of kilometers) 60- 55. 50 45- 40- 35. 30. 25. 20. 15 10, 5. Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul 60 59 58- 57. 56. 55 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul (c) Which of the two graphs is more likely to be misleading? Why? (Choose the best answer.) In Graph A, the points look to be at very different heights, which suggests there was a relatively small increase in the numbers of kilometers driven. In Graph B, the points look to be at similar heights, suggesting that there was a dramatic fluctuation in the numbers of kilometers driven. Therefore, Graph A could mislead a person into thinking that the month-to-month fluctuation in the numbers of kilometers driven between January and July was smaller than it really was. In Graph A, the points look to be at similar heights, suggesting that there was a dramatic increase in the numbers of kilometers driven. In Graph B, the points look to be at very different heights, which suggests there was a relatively small fluctuation in the numbers of kilometers driven. Therefore, Graph A could mislead a person into thinking that the month-to-month fluctuation in the numbers of kilometers driven between January and July was larger than it really was. ○ In Graph A, the baseline is at 0, which exaggerates the differences between the numbers of kilometers driven. In Graph B, the baseline is at 54 instead of 0, so the points are at heights of the same relative size as the actual numbers of kilometers driven. Therefore, Graph B could mislead a person into thinking that the month-to-month fluctuation in the numbers of kilometers driven between January and July was larger than it really was. In Graph A, the points are at heights of the same relative size as the actual numbers of kilometers driven. In Graph B, the differences between the numbers of kilometers driven are exaggerated. Therefore, Graph B could mislead a person into thinking that the month-to-month fluctuation in the numbers of kilometers driven between January and July was larger than it really was.
