Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Two schools count how many students chose band, choir, art, or drama. The totals for the schools are different, and the goal is to compare choices by school. Which graph type is best?

ADouble bar graph, because it compares the same categories for two schools

BCircle graph, because different totals should be forced into one circle
