Annual Manufacturing Output Over Time
What are the points on the x-axis?
1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1989
Is this line chart misleading? Explain
Yes, the chart is misleading because the time intervals between the data points on the x-axis are inconsistent. This can distort the perception of trends and changes in the manufacturing output over time. For example, there is a gap between 1985 and 1987, which could falsely suggest a rapid increase in output when there is actually missing data for 1986.
