Graphing Data Sets In Exercises 17–32, organize the data using the indicated type of graph. Describe any patterns.

Smartphone Sales The five best-selling smartphone manufacturers of 2020 were Apple (206.1 million units), Huawei (189.0 million units), Samsung (266.7 million units), vivo (111.7 million units), and Xiaomi (147.8 million units). Use a Pareto chart to display the data. (Source: International Data Corporation)

Extending Concepts

A Misleading Graph? A misleading graph is not drawn appropriately, which can misrepresent data and lead to false conclusions. In Exercises 37–40, (a) explain why the graph is misleading, and (b) redraw the graph so that it is not misleading.

Poverty The U.S. Census Bureau uses money income thresholds to define poverty. For example, in 2018 the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children was \$25,100. The bar graph represents the number of people living in poverty (in thousands) in the United States in 2017, by ethnicity. How might this graph be misleading?
