MAgraph and charts

MNmuhammad nayan4y ago
Which of the following would be the best way to display production rates over the last 10 years? a. Bar chart b. Line Graph c. Pie Chart d. Table answer: B (in the mock) (I think its wrong ) Cause, my thinking is it should be A. Bar chat. we can easily show 10 years rates in bar-chart cause we compare numbers & other measures in the bar chart. but in the line chart, we compare between two variables. it's useful for identifying trends & patterns . please correct me if I'm wrong

I think the B is correct. since we are taking about production rate with respect to time(10years). the line graph will help you as a manager to easily identify the trend in production than the bar graph. also the bar graph is used when the data is not continues and are of different categories

I agree with Lamini. Also with these types of questions you are looking for best way of presenting data even though other options given may be possible. I considered this on following thread- https://opentuition.com/topic/charts-and-diagrams-2/ Hope this helps.
