Darnell's scribe post for September 30.

Question 12:
a)Explain how this graph is misleading.
The graph is misleading because the intrevals on the Y axis go from 0-500 and the highest number in the graph is 200.

b)Based on the graph,what can you conclude about the outcome of the voting?
What i can conclude about the graph is Candidate B barely won because he didnt reach near 500.

c)Does the data support the claim made by the title? If not, reword it to correct the misinformation.
The title didn't match the graph because it says, "Vote is a three-way split" and the 3 canadidates votes weren't divided evenly. The title should be renamed Vote results for ______.
