“Just look at the graph,” the player’s agent said. “Phil’s hits have doubled since last year. We are looking for a large raise and a long contract.” Look at the graph. Is the agent’s claim misleading? Why or why not?
Answer
A
No, the top line is twice the length of the bottom line showing that Phil has doubled his number of hits.
B
Yes, although one line is twice the length of the other, it does not show twice the number of hits.
C
Yes, the horizontal scale does not have uniform increments starting with zero.
