Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To make your data displays more accurate, differentiate between actual and estimated or projected values. When you must truncate a scale, do so clearly with a break in the bars or in the background. You must avoid perspective and three-dimensional graphs and combining graphs with different scales. You must use images of people carefully in histographs to avoid sexist, racist, or other exclusionary visual statements.
