question 3 of 10
how can charts display bias?

a. they can be designed to hide or highlight certain data.

b. they can show facts and statistics in a visual way.

c. they can select only subjective facts to display.

d. they can be placed next to advertisements.

Explanation:

To determine how charts display bias, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Charts can be designed to hide or highlight certain data. This manipulation of data presentation (hiding or emphasizing specific parts) is a way to introduce bias, as it influences what the viewer perceives.
• Option B: Showing facts and statistics visually is a neutral function of charts, not related to bias.
• Option C: "Subjective facts" is an oxymoron; facts are objective. So this option is incorrect.
• Option D: Placing charts next to advertisements does not inherently introduce bias into the chart's data or presentation.

Answer:

A. They can be designed to hide or highlight certain data.
