    In fact, Sol had misread the Honduras value and it should have been 22.8.
    Use this value and the table to complete the bar chart for the data.
    You will need to complete the labels for the axes.

    How to approach this question

    1. Label the vertical (y) axis "Birth Rate (per 1000)" and add a suitable scale (e.g., 0 to 40 in steps of 5). 2. Label the horizontal (x) axis "Country". 3. For each country in the table, draw a bar. The height of the bar should correspond to its birth rate on the y-axis. 4. Make sure to use the corrected value for Honduras (22.8). 5. Ensure all bars are of equal width and have equal gaps between them.

    Full Answer

    A completed bar chart with: - X-axis labelled "Country". - Y-axis labelled "Birth Rate (per 1000)". - Bars for each country drawn to the correct height based on the table data (with Honduras at 22.8). - Argentina: 17.0 - Belgium: 11.4 - Cameroon: 34.5 - Denmark: 10.4 - Egypt: 30.3 - France: 12.3 - Germany: 8.5 - Honduras: 22.8 - Italy: 8.7 - Japan: 7.9
    A bar chart is used to compare discrete categories. Here, the categories are the countries. 1. **Axes and Labels:** The vertical axis represents the numerical value, so it should be labelled "Birth Rate (per 1000)" with a scale from 0 up to at least 35. The horizontal axis represents the categories, so it should be labelled "Country", with the names of the 10 countries listed underneath. 2. **Plotting Bars:** For each country, a bar is drawn. The height of the bar corresponds to the birth rate value from the table. For example, the bar for Cameroon should go up to 34.5, and the bar for the corrected Honduras value should go up to 22.8. The bars should not touch and should be of equal width.

    Common mistakes

    ✗ Incorrectly labelling the axes. ✗ Using a non-linear scale on the y-axis. ✗ Drawing bars with incorrect heights. ✗ Forgetting to use the corrected value for Honduras.
