charles owns a catering business. the amount his 10 most recent clients spent is shown in the histogram below. 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?

Respuesta :

The graph is misleading because the x-axis scale shows that the given data is more clustered than it actually is.

What is a misleading graph?

A misleading graph, sometimes referred to as a distorted graph, misrepresents data, amounts to statistical abuse, and may lead to the drawing of an inaccurate conclusion.

What is a data set?

A data set is a grouping of connected, discrete pieces of connected data that can be viewed separately, together, or handled as a single unit. A data structure of some kind is used to arrange a data set.

Here, we have

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

We concluded from the given dataset that the cost of the event is plotted on the x-axis.

In a given dataset, the entry from 2500 to 2599 is missing.

The graph generates a point cluster that isn't actually displayed on the data components because of the missing item.

Hence, the graph is misleading because the x-axis scale shows that the given data is more clustered than it actually is.
