Question

2 How might MS Office chart styles create distortion? Find an example of a ready-made chart that distorts the data

Answer 1

MS office charts are used for data presentation and analysis. A chart is a representation of data graphically and allows better understanding and prediction. Therefore, when choosing a chart for presenting data, one should be careful as an incorrect chart might lead to misinterpretation of data and hence wrong business and marketing decisions. Information might be distorted if presented on a wrong chart. For instance, representing the same data in different Y- Axis instead of putting them under the same graph for comparison.
