Is this bar chart misleading? Explain
Yes, this chart is misleading because it uses inconsistent time intervals on the x-axis. The months are not evenly spaced, which can distort the viewer's perception of trends and comparisons between the data points. For example, the gap between August and September is one month, while the gap between September and November is two months, and between November and December is one month. This inconsistency can lead to incorrect interpretations of the data trends over time.
