Is this bar chart misleading? Explain
Yes, this chart is misleading because the intervals between the years on the x-axis are inconsistent. The data points do not follow a regular yearly interval (e.g., 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, and 1961). The irregular gaps can distort the perception of trends over time, making it appear as though there are more significant fluctuations or trends than actually present.
