Step 1: Understand the Bar Graph
The bar graph shows the number of people who own different game consoles. The y-axis represents the "Number of People" (ranging from 0 to 9), and the x-axis lists the console types:
- PS3
- Coleco Vision
- Gameboy
- PS Vita
- Xbox 360
We read the height of each bar to determine how many people own each console.
From the graph:
-
PS3: 5 people
-
Coleco Vision: 6 people
-
Gameboy: 2 people
-
PS Vita: 7 people
-
Xbox 360: 9 people
