Bar Graphs Highlight Differences Between Averages or Percentages
This bar graph depicts the percentages of university students who have been arrested at least once (other than in a traffic arrest). The researchers measured four groups: those with no tattoos, one tattoo, two to three tattoos, or four or more tattoos. A bar graph can more vividly depict differences between percentages than just the typed numbers themselves can: 8.5, 18.7, 12.7, and 70.6.
