Question

Kyle is constructing a bar graph to display the percentage of students enrolled in AP courses from 1996-2005. He is planning to create a bar graph with a scale in 5% increments. Is this an appropriate choice given the data? Why or why not? A) No, he should construct a pie chart instead. B) No, he should construct a line graph instead. C) No, he should use a scale with larger increments such as 0, 10, and 20. D) No, because his percentages are so close together it will be difficult to determine differences in the years if he uses a scale of 5% increments. He should use a smaller scale such as 1% increments.

Answer 1
