Question

explain whether a bar graph, double bar graph, or circle graph is the best way to display the following set of data: the number of teens who attended art museums, symphony concerts, rock concerts, and athletic events in 1990 compared to the number who attended the same events this year. a. circle graph b. bar graph c. double bar graph d. none of them please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

To determine the best graph, we analyze the data: we need to compare the number of teens who attended four events (art museums, symphony concerts, rock concerts, athletic events) in two different years (1990 and this year). A double bar graph is used to compare two sets of data for the same categories. A bar graph is for one set of data, and a circle graph (pie chart) is for showing proportions of a whole. Since we have two years (two data sets) for the same four event categories, a double bar graph is ideal.

Answer:

C. double bar graph
