A chart's vertical axis does not begin at zero and a small difference appears very large. What problem may result?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The visual presentation may be misleading

When a vertical axis does not start at zero, a small difference in values can look much larger than it really is. This can lead viewers to draw a misleading conclusion, so the visual presentation may be misleading. The measurements themselves do not automatically become incorrect, and the sample size does not change. Exam tip: always check an axis’s starting value and scale before interpreting a graph.
