a.
To find:
Whether the graph potentially misleading in the graph which shows the number of bikes shipped in U.S.
a.
Answer to Problem 5E
In the year 2000, the frequency of bike shipped was triple than that of year 1997.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider the provided information, the lengths of the bars for 1997 and 2000 is to be compared. Also determine the number of times 2000 is longer than 1997.
Consider the bar graph, in 1997, 15.2 million bikes were shipped to U.S and in 2000, 20.9 million bikes were shipped.
Therefore,
Comparing the year 1997 with 2000 it is noticed that in the year 2000, the bikes shipped was triple than the bikes shipped in 1997.
b.
To find:
Whether the graph potentially misleading in the graph which shows the number of bikes shipped in U.S.
b.
Answer to Problem 5E
5 million (approx.) bikes were more shipped in the year 2000 in compare with 1997.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider the provided information, determine the number of times the frequency of bike shipped is more in the year 200 than 1997.
Consider the bar graph, in 1997, 15.2 million bikes were shipped to U.S and in 2000, 20.9 million bikes were shipped.
Therefore,
5 million (approx.) bikes were more shipped in the year 2000 in compare with 1997.
c.
To find:
Whether the graph potentially misleading in the graph which shows the number of bikes shipped in U.S.
c.
Answer to Problem 5E
Yes the bar graph is misleading.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider the provided information, determine whether the bar graph is misleading.
The bar graph is misleading as it is noticed the broken vertical does not gives the actual value of the bikes shipped and aggregates the difference in the bar length.
