Is this bar chart misleading? Explain
Yes, this chart is misleading because it uses inconsistent time intervals on the x-axis. This can distort the perception of trends over time, as the gaps between years are not uniform. For instance, there is no data for 1996, and the intervals between some years, such as 1994 to 1995 and 1995 to 1997, are not consistent with the rest. This inconsistency can mislead viewers into drawing incorrect conclusions about the changes in expenditures over time.
