which graph histogram or bar graph would be used to convince people that a company grows fast?

Question

Which histogram would you use if you were the manager of a company who wants to convince people that the company grows fast? Please explain your choice

P.S. Thats all the information it gives

Answer 1

Use a histogram with a scale that has small increments. For example, each tick mark interval would be $1. That way, a small increase would appear big, while it may not actually be significant or unexpected.

Answer 2

A clustered column, stacked column, and 100% staced column graphs are very useful to compare values across categories. (People with malaria, people with typhoid fever, etc. for all of the treatments given to people)

A line graph is pretty common for sales figures and to show dollars over time. ($100 in January, $110 in February, etc.)

Pie charts are very useful to show the contribution of each segment to the total (percent of nuts, bolts, washers, nails to the entire inventory)

Area and stacked area compares the trend of values over time,

There are other types, and if you open the Excel spreadsheet and click on graphs you can get views and examples of every type plus the others.

In your question, I think the best graph would be the line graph. It is the classic one you see in cartoons that depict a red arrow going up or down for the sales the cartoon is talking about. Managers all over the world would be very comfortable seeing your data displayed in that way.
