Question 1.

The bar graph below shows the number of car accidents occurring in one city in each of the years 2001 through 2006. The number of accidents dropped in 2003 after a new speed limit was imposed. Why is the graph misleading? How would you redesign the graph so that it is less misleading? What impression is conveyed by the graph?



Question 2.

The bar graph below shows the average cost of renting a studio in a certain city in each of the years 2002 through 2006.
