"Just look at the graph," the player's agent said. "Phil's hits have doubled since last year. We are looking for a large raise
and a long contract."
Look at the graph
Phil's Hits
Thisyear
Last year
100 120 140 160 180 200
Is the agent's claim misleading? Why or why not?
a. No, the top line is twice the length of the bottom line showing that Phil has doubled his number of
hits
b. Yes, although one line is twice the length of the other, it does not show twice the number of hits.
c. Yes, the horizontal scale does not have uniform increments starting with zero.
d. Both b and c.
