FAN AND MEDAL What would be the best graph for the data set of the number of pages in 15 different books?

OpenStudy (cav7):

I think a bar graph

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

Bar graphs are used to compare facts. The bars provide a visual display for comparing quantities in different categories or groups. Bar graphs help us to see relationships quickly. However, bar graphs can be difficult to read accurately. A change in the scale in a bar graph may alter one's visual perception of the data. So, @Cav7 is correct. A bar graph would be the most appropriate.

Thank you! Also, that last tidbit was also very helpful because I have to make the graph misleading down the road!
