• All the bags could have a different mass
and each would need its own bar.
• Any answer that refers to there being 30
bags/bars which would make the bar
chart too large [therefore not the best
representation of the data].
• Bar charts are used to display data that
can be counted.
• The data would be better shown in a
line graph or a frequency diagram.
• The data would need to be grouped to
be shown on a bar chart.
• Bar charts are not used to display data
that is measured [unless it is grouped].
• Bar charts are usually used for discrete
data.
