The visualization process begins with data collection that is relevant to a given question or claim. If an important social media news report in December of 2022 uses the following chart of electricity costs in kwh over the last five years to support statements that inflation has not changed costs very much, how should a listener or reader respond to the news report?

A bar graph has a horizontal axis representing costs in kilowatt hours. The axis ranges from 0.115 to 0.145 with ticks in increments of 0.005. The vertical axis represents years and ranges from 2012 to 2021 in increments of 1. From 2012 to 2021, each year has a horizontal bar with lengths 0.127, 0.131, 0.135, 0.133, 0.133, 0.136, 0.135, 0.133, 0.136, and 0.142 respectively.

The important attribute that the data should have is **unbiased**. This ensures that the information presented is fair and objective, which is crucial for topics such as public elections.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
A listener or reader should **seek additional data**. While the chart provides information about electricity costs over the last five years, it's important to consider additional context, such as other economic factors, comparisons to inflation rates, and data beyond just electricity costs to fully understand the claim being made about inflation and costs.
