A bar graph is entitled Cost per event. The event cost is on the x-axis and the number of events is on the y-axis. There are 2 events with a cost of 1,000-1,499; 4 with a cost of 1,500 to 1,999; 3 with a cost of 2,000 to 2,499; 1 with a cost of 3,000 to 3,499. Why is the graph misleading? The x-axis scale shows the data is more clustered than it actually is. The y-axis scale shows the data is more skewed than it actually is. The scales are different on the x-axis and the y-axis. The data is not distributed equally across the x-axis intervals.

From the dataset, the cost of the event is plotted on the x-axis and the entry 2500 to 2599 is missing. The graph, therefore, forms a cluster of the point that is not actually represented on the data elements.

Therefore, the x-axis scale shows the data is more clustered than it actually is.

The reason why the graph is misleading because (a) The x-axis scale shows the data is more clustered than it actually is

How to interpret the graph

The dataset is given as:

2 events with a cost of 1,000-1,499;
4 events with a cost of 1,500 to 1,999;
3 events with a cost of 2,000 to 2,499;
1 event with a cost of 3,000 to 3,499

From the above dataset, we can see that the cost of the event is plotted on the x-axis.

For the dataset, the entry 2500 to 2599 is missing.

Because of the missing entry, the graph forms a cluster of point that is not actually represented on the data elements

Hence, the graph is misleading because (a) The x-axis scale shows the data is more clustered than it actually is
