A bar chart shows the number of visitors to four parks, but the vertical axis starts at 50 instead of 0. Explain one way this could be misleading.
- It exaggerates differences because the bars do not start from zero.
- It makes the total number of visitors appear smaller than it is.
- It changes the order of which park has the most visitors.
- It makes the scale on the horizontal axis uneven.
