Question

The graph to the right shows the braking distances for different cars measured under the same conditions. Describe the ways in which this graph might be deceptive. How much greater is the braking distance of Car A than the braking distance of Car C? Draw the graph in a way that depicts the data more fairly Car A Car Car 100 120 140 160 180 2 Braking distance (feet) In what way might the graph be deceptive? O A. The units in the graph are not consistent throughout. B. By starting the horizontal axis at 100, the graph cuts off portions of the bars. O C. The graph compares more than two values D. There are errors in the graph. How much greater is the braking distance of Car A than the braking distance of Car C? O A. The braking distance of Car A is about 40% greater than the braking distance of Car c. O B. The braking distance of Car A is about 120 ft greater than the braking distance of Car C O C. The braking distance of Car A is more than twice the braking distance of Car C o D. The braking distance of Car A is about the same as the braking distance of Car C. 1 Drav the graph in a way that depicts the data more fairly Choose the correct graph below Click to select your answer,

Explanation / Answer

Answer to the question is as follows:

B. graph is a misrepresentation for this reason

A. The braking distance of Car A is about (185-135)/135 or 40% greater than the braking distance of Car C

D. is correct. Start the graph at 0. A and B do that, but D is the right representation
