Bar Graph Analysis
The bar graph shows the number of newspaper subscriptions sold each month. The x-axis represents the "Number of Subscriptions," and the y-axis represents the months (June to December). Each bar corresponds to a specific month, and the height of the bar indicates the number of subscriptions sold.
From the graph:
-
June: Approximately 600 subscriptions.
-
July: Approximately 700 subscriptions.
-
August: Approximately 900 subscriptions.
-
September: Approximately 850 subscriptions.
-
October: Approximately 1000 subscriptions.
-
November: Approximately 400 subscriptions.
-
December: Approximately 300 subscriptions.

Question 3: Were more newspaper subscriptions sold in October, November, and December combined than in July, August, and September combined?
#### Step 1: Calculate the total subscriptions for October, November, and December.
- October: 1000
- November: 400
- December: 300
- Total for October, November, and December: \( 1000 + 400 + 300 = 1700 \)
#### Step 2: Calculate the total subscriptions for July, August, and September.
- July: 700
- August: 900
- September: 850
- Total for July, August, and September: \( 700 + 900 + 850 = 2450 \)
#### Step 3: Compare the totals.
- October, November, and December: 1700
- July, August, and September: 2450
- Since \( 1700 < 2450 \), more subscriptions were sold in July, August, and September combined.
