Is this bar chart misleading? Explain
Yes, this chart is misleading because the intervals between the data points on the x-axis are inconsistent. The data points jump from 1958 to 1960, then to 1961, and finally to 1962, which can create a distorted perception of trends over time. Consistent time intervals are crucial for accurately interpreting trends in time series data.
