A neighborhood is trying to set up school carpools, but they need to determine the number of students who need to travel to the elementary school (ages 5-10), the middle school (ages 11-13), and the high school (ages 14-18). A bar chart summarizes their findings:
Bar chart titled Carpool, with Number of Children on the y axis and Schools Groups on the x axis. Bar 1 is Elementary School ages 5 to 10 and has a value of 3. Bar 2 is Middle School ages 11 to 13 and has a value of 7. Bar 3 is High School ages 14 to 18 and has a value of 4.
Which of the following data sets is represented in the bar chart?
A retail company is studying the number of employees, based on job classification, such as employee, manager, and senior manager. Which of the following displays could be used to represent the data, and why?
