Question # 5

A) How many times taller does the bar for B appear than the bar for A?
B is about 3x bigger than A.

B) How many times as great are the votes in bar B than votes in A?
B is really only 2x bigger than A, but the break in the y axis makes it look misleading.

C)What conlusion does the graph suggest about the election results?
The conclusion of the graph means that whoever made it wanted B to look like it beat A by more than it really did.

D)How could the graph be redrawn to make the data more clear?
It could be made more clear by taking out the axis break.
