Question

Statement 1: Bar Graph is a graph of rectangles.

Statement 2: Width of the rectangle gives us the quantity that bar is representing.

• A. 1 and 2 both are true
• B. 1 is true and 2 is false
• C. 2 is true and 1 is false
• D. Both 1 and 2 is false

Answer 1

The correct option is B

1 is true and 2 is false

A bar graph is shown in the figure above. As you can see the height of the rectangle gives us the frequency of the object the bar is representing. The width does not represent any quantity. Thus statement 1 is true while statement 2 is false.
