You make a bar graph to show the picks for the favorite non-core class. Which choice below is NOT true about the graph shown?
The number of people combined who picked family & consumer science, chorus and industrial science is less than the number who picked gym.
Chorus has about the same number of picks as family & consumer science.
Gym is the most popular non-core class.
The number of people who picked industrial science is 10 more than the number who picked family & consumer science.
To determine which choice is NOT true about the bar graph, we can evaluate each statement based on the typical interpretations of a bar graph:
1. The number of people combined who picked family & consumer science, chorus, and industrial science is less than the number who picked gym. – This can be true if the bars for these classes are shorter than the bar for gym.
2. Chorus has about the same number of picks as family & consumer science. – This would be true if the bars for chorus and family & consumer science are of similar height.
3. Gym is the most popular non-core class. – This is true if the bar for gym is the tallest.
4. The number of people who picked industrial science is 10 more than the number who picked family & consumer science. – This could be false if the heights of the bars do not reflect this difference.
Without seeing the graph, we can’t definitively answer which statement is NOT true. However, if the last statement about industrial science being 10 more is not visually supported by the graph, then that would be the correct answer.
To help clarify, take a look at the graph and see if the heights of the bars match the descriptions in the options. If they do not align with that last statement, it would be your answer.
