Explain the process of creating a bar graph from a given set of data.

• Selecting a scale, labeling the axes, plotting the data points, and drawing the bars to represent the data values.

• Plotting the data points on a scatter plot, connecting them with lines, and adding a title

• Using a pie chart instead, labeling the bars with random numbers, and skipping the axes

• Counting the number of data points, drawing random lines, and coloring the bars

Explain the significance of choosing the right scale for a bar graph.

• It has no impact on the accuracy of the data

• Choosing the right scale is only important for line graphs

• The color of the bars is more important than the scale

• It affects the interpretation of the data and can either exaggerate or minimize the differences between the data points.
