Why do you think it's misleading?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no idea

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If you took a very very quick glance at it, which vehicle is driven the most?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

compact

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If you looked at it too much and you know the true answer, then show it to a friend or family member (but show it very quickly)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes "compact" is the true answer, but do you think others would think so?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because of the size?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the trucks are the biggest, so my guess is that someone who takes a quick glance at it will immediately think that they are the most driven

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this is probably because they might correspond the size with the amount somehow
