    The bar chart represents the data in the frequency table given.
    Year Number of Computers sold
    1995 \[\cancel{I\,I\,I\,I}\] \[\cancel{I\,I\,I\,I}\] \[\cancel{I\,I\,I\,I}\] \[I\,I\,I\]
    1996 \[\cancel{I\,I\,I\,I}\] \[I\,I\,I\]
    1997 \[\cancel{I\,I\,I\,I}\]  \[\cancel{I\,I\,I\,I}\]
    1998 \[\cancel{I\,I\,I\,I}\] \[I\]
    The bar for which year is incorrectly drawn?

    A)  1995                                     

    B)                         1996                     

    C)                         1997                                     

    D)                         1998

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    From the given bar chart, it is clear that each square represents 2 units since the 6 computers sold in 1998 is represented by a bar extending 3 squares. So, the length (or height) of the bar for the year 1995 must be \[\frac{18}{2}=9\] squares. But the bar is drawn to a height of 7 squares.
