Is this bar chart misleading? Explain
Yes, this chart is misleading because the intervals between data points on the x-axis are inconsistent. The years between data points are not evenly spaced (e.g., there are two years between 1968 and 1970, but only one year between 1970 and 1971). This can distort the perception of trends and changes in the data over time.
