Question

Suppose you are going to graph the data in the table below. What data should be represented on each axis, and what would be the appropriate increments?

Reporting periodsSalesJan.–Mar., 2010$100,000Apr.–Jun., 2010$55,000Jul.–Sep., 2010$45,000Oct.–Dec., 2010$110,000Jan.–Mar., 2011$330,000Apr.–Jun., 2011$800,000Jul.–Sep., 2011$242,000Oct.–Dec., 2011$150,000

x-axis: time period in increments of 1 month; y-axis: sales in increments of $1,000 x-axis: sales in increments of $1,000; y-axis: time period in increments of 1 month x-axis: time period in increments of 3 months; y-axis: sales in increments of $100,000 x-axis: sales in increments of $100,000; y-axis: time period in increments of 3 months

Answer 1

I think the answer would be the 3rd choice:
 x-axis: time period in 3 month increments;
y-axis: sales in increments of $100,000
