A survey was administered to 500 high school students to determine the type of music they preferred. The survey indicated that 22%prefer rock, 26% prefer hip hop, 29% prefer pop, and 23% selected “other.” Which representation best illustrates the number of students preferring each type of music?
- A A
- B B
- C C
- D D
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The bar graph (Option B) best represents the number of students preferring each type of music because it visually displays the exact number of students (out of 500) who selected each category. The heights of the bars correspond directly to the calculated numbers: 110 for Rock, 130 for Hip Hop, 145 for Pop, and 115 for Other. This makes it easy to compare the popularity of each music type, unlike the pie chart or line graph.
