Question

the table to the right shows the median age that a person from a certain region first married for the years 2002 to 2012. draw a bar graph that makes the increase in the median age of men for the years shown appear to be small and another that makes the increase in the median age of men for the years shown appear to be large. choose the bar graph that makes the increase in the median age of men appear to be smaller than it is. o a. o b. o c. o d.

Explanation:

To make the increase in men’s median age appear smaller, the vertical axis (age) should have a larger range. A larger axis range compresses the differences between bar heights, making the upward trend less visually pronounced. Among the options, graph B has the largest vertical axis range (0 to 50), which minimizes the apparent increase.

Answer:

B. [Graph with vertical axis range 0 to 50]
