Question
A university conducted a study and determined that a college student walks an average of 2.4 miles a day and a college graduate walks an average of 1.8 miles per day. Which of the following is the best way to represent this data?
1)using a pie chart with one section labeled 1.8 and one section labeled 2.4
2)using a cube with a side length of 2.4 and a cube with a side length of 1.8
3)using a square with a side length of 2.4 and a square with a side length of 1.8
4)using a bar graph where one bar has a length of 2.4 and one bar has a lenthg of 1.8

The best way to represent this data is:
**4) using a bar graph where one bar has a length of 2.4 and one bar has a length of 1.8.**
A bar graph effectively compares the two groups (college students and college graduates) based on their average daily walking distances, clearly depicting the difference in averages. The other options, such as pie charts or cubes, are less effective for comparing two distinct quantitative values directly.
**4) using a bar graph where one bar has a length of 2.4 and one bar has a length of 1.8.**
