- The bar chart is misleading because the vertical axis does not start at 0, which exaggerates the differences between the bars. The actual values (42%, 54%, 54%) show that the first category is only slightly lower than the others, but the visual representation makes it appear much smaller.
- The line graph is misleading because the vertical axis does not start at 0, which distorts the perception of change over time. The fluctuations appear more dramatic than they actually are; for example, the drop from 60 to 50 looks steep, but in context of the full scale, it’s a modest change.
