Q:

This graph appeared in a local newspaper after a recent election, Do you agree with the message in the graph title

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:NOStep-by-step explanation:You should not agree. Graphically the graph shows a wide difference, with roberts getting aboyt twice votes as the 2nd candidate. However, the ordinates axis is nos set beginning in 0, is starts in 900. This is a usual trick to make differences look grater than they are.The three candidates together sum 2840 votes (980+920+940), and the difference between the first 2 is 40 votes, which represents only 1.4% of votes (40/2840).So, the margin is not wide.
