Annual Sports Participation Growth (1955-1959)
What are the points on the x-axis?
1955, 1956, 1958, 1959
Is this line chart misleading? Explain
Yes, this chart is misleading because it uses inconsistent time intervals on the x-axis. The data points are not evenly spaced in time (there is a missing year, 1957), which can distort the perception of the growth trend. This inconsistency can make changes in the number of participants between years appear more or less significant than they actually are.
