Please check my answers, thank you
all i need is the answer.
say on life if yall dont give da answers ima kno sum
this is no help it's better with miss sue no offense
but is the rest right?
i think so
(1) A bar graph
A bar graph is used to display information falling under certain categories for various groups or subgroups. Here average temperature for 30 months is to be shown and hence the bar graph will be the most appropriate tool to represent it.
