The correct answer is that the y -axiz shows exponential increase, not a linear increase. Instead of counting consecutively by ones or twos, the y -axis goes from 1 to 2 to 4 to 8 (multiplying by 2). This will result in data that looks closer together than it actually is, and therefore is misleading.
Answer:
D) The y interval shows exponential increase rather than linear increase.
Step-by-step explanation:
The y axis is the number of days, while the x axis is time spent outside.
If we take a look at the x- axis's data, we see that each different data set has an interval of 30. From this, we know that A and B are false.
If we take a look at the y axis, we can see that the number of days jumps from 1 to 2 to 4 to 8 to 16. This, graphed point by point shows an exponential line. We need a line that grows at the same rate to not show skewed data. Due to the fact that the graph would be exponential, our answer ends up being D.
