Based on the graph, the sales manager published a report in May 2020 claiming that so far in 2020, the group had met its goal of doubling sales.
Is this conclusion correct? Why or why not?
OA
Yes, the conclusion is correct because each of the 2020 sales bars is at least twice as high as the 2019 sales bars, showing that
the sales are at least doubled.
OB.
OC.
Yes, the conclusion is correct because the advertising campaign was designed to double sales.
No, the conclusion is not correct because the graph shows only the first four months of the year.
No, the conclusion is not correct because the y-axis does not begin at zero, so the relative size of the bars does not represent
the ratio of 2020 sales to 2019 sales.
