Question

Which of the following is the first condition for plotting an arithmetic line graph?

• A. The time series scale must be large
• B. The time series data must be continuous
• C. There must be atleast two or more variables to compare the data
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B The time series data must be continuous

The data provided must be continuous and the time series scale must be continuous as well. If data is not available for any particular period of time, the arithmetic line graph becomes invalid. Therefore, the primary condition for an arithmetic line graph is for the time series data to be continuous.
