A bar chart would be the best choice to present this information as it allows for easy comparison of the frequencies of each of the six different mistakes made by candidates during job interviews. A histogram would not be appropriate as the categories are not continuous, a stem-and-leaf display would not be appropriate as it is better suited for displaying individual values, and a contingency table would not be appropriate as it requires two categorical variables.
