Question

people of different ages were asked the question \do you listen to audiobooks?\ the bar graph below displays the percentage of \yes\ responses for different age groups. audiobook listeners is this graph misleading? no, because the bars are all the same width. no, because the scale starts at 0. yes, because the bars are not the same height. yes, because the scale does not start at 0.

Explanation:

Step1: Check vertical scale start

The y-axis (Relative Frequency) starts at 0.10, not 0.

Step2: Evaluate misleading factor

A scale not starting at 0 distorts visual comparisons of bar heights, making differences seem larger than actual.

Step3: Match with options

The graph is misleading because the scale does not start at 0.

Answer:

Yes, because the scale does not start at 0.
