You have to present the sales data of a company over 10 years to the board of directors. What type of graph should you choose and why?
- Histogram, because it shows distributions
- Line graph, because it shows trends over time
- Pie chart, because it shows proportions
- Scatter plot, because it shows relationships between variables
A line graph would be the most suitable choice for presenting sales data over time. Line graphs are excellent for showing continuous data over time set at equal intervals, like years in this case. This would allow the board of directors to easily see trends, patterns, and fluctuations in sales data.
