Trends in Media Consumption Over Time
What are the points on the x-axis?
1978, 1979, 1981, 1982
Is this line chart misleading? Explain
Yes, this chart is misleading because the intervals between data points on the x-axis are inconsistent. The years 1979 and 1981 are close together, while there is a larger gap between 1978 and 1979, and an even larger gap between 1981 and 1982. This inconsistency can distort the perception of trends over time.
