TruncatingY-AxisGraph.png

An image depicts a graph titled, ''Is Truncating The Y-Axis Misleading?'' The y-axis is labeled, ''Percentage Response.'' It looks like exactly 50% of the responses, depicted by a blue rectangle, are yes, and 50% of the responses, depicted by a red rectangle, are no. However, the y-axis is truncated and ranges from 98%-100%. In actually 99% of the responses were yes, and 1% of the responses were no.
