In AQ2.4, the bar chart is having differential widths due to no. of participants are different, how it is misleading?? Doesn't width depicts the no. of participants voting for their favorite film?

Hi,

If you are using different widths, then area of bars will represent the frequencies but in case of bar chart, as it is used for categorical variables, only heights should represent frequencies. So, it is advised to maintain the equal widths of bars in bar chart to avoid confusion.

Thanks
