    This question requires you to add information to a bar chart. A bar chart uses rectangular bars to represent data. The height of each bar is proportional to the value it represents. The horizontal axis (x-axis) shows the categories, which are the bus stops. The vertical axis (y-axis) shows the values, which is the number of people. The question states that two people were at the Football ground bus stop. You need to find "Football ground" on the x-axis and draw a bar up to the level of 2 on the y-axis.

    Common mistakes

    ✗ Drawing the bar in the wrong location. ✗ Drawing the bar to the wrong height (e.g., to 1 instead of 2). ✗ Making the bar a different width to the others.
