Question

Students at Bruce's school are allowed to play more than one sport. So, Brent polled a large sample of students to find how many students were on each sports team at the high school - basketball, volleyball, baseball, and hockey. Which of the following could sufficiently display the data if only the four given categories are to be included?
a) Bar Graph
b) Pie Chart
c) Either a bar graph or a pie chart
d) None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Bar graph

Step-by-step explanation:

A bar graph is also known to be a bar chart. It is used to represent data such as quantities and numbers graphically. These data are represented in bars or strip.

The bar graph is best answer because, from the question a student could play more than a sport, therefore a student could belong to about two or more sports categories. This makes a bar graph more appropriate. Using pie chart would be misleading as students can belong to more than one category
