Misleading graphs

The intervals on the x axis do not increase by the same amount each time.

The intervals on the y axis do not increase by the same amount each time.

y axis doesn't start at 0

you can't use different colors on a graph

Graph 1

Graph 2

Neither

Both

The graph’s x axis does not have numbers.

values on the y axis scale are not uniform (the same)

uneven spacing of values on the y axis

none of the above

graph 1

graph 2

graph 3

graph 2 and 3

Not enough information is given in this graph.

Ticket prices doubled from 1991 to 2001, but the basketball pictures look four times bigger.

the numbers on the side of the graph do not increase by the same amount each time.

uneven spacing of values in the vertical scale

the graph is not misleading

vertical scale starts at 8, instead of 0

none of the above

They can exclude certain data so the graph supports their view.

They can manipulate the scale to make the differences in data appear to be larger.

They can change the labels to support their view.

Start the graph at zero

y axis scale not uniform (same)

Can not use a line graph to show change over time.

uneven spacing on the x axis

none of the above
