When we construct a bar chart or graph, what is the effect of starting the vertical axis at a value that is far above zero? Explain

Solution

When drawing a bar chart or a bar diagram, if we start the vertical axis at a value, far above zero, the scaling may become an issue.

The height of the bar graph may not be a true representation of it\'s actual value. E.g : The first value is 1000, and then the values occur in the steps of 50 each, then, it becomes difficult to put things on proper scale on a bar graph.

Hope this helps. Ask if you need more clarification.
