Charting observations on a semi-logarithmic graph will help the analyst to ascertain whether
A)absolute changes from period to period are constant.
B)whether percentage changes from period to period are constant.
C)whether percentage changes from period to period are declining.
D)Both B and C

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A semi-logarithmic graph has a logarithmic scale on one axis and a linear scale on the other. When data is plotted on this type of graph, it allows us to visualize changes in percentage terms. If the slope of the line on the graph is constant, it means that percentage changes from period to period are also constant (Option B). If the slope of the line is decreasing, it means that percentage changes from period to period are declining (Option C). Therefore, both Option B and Option C are correct. Option A is incorrect as absolute changes cannot be measured on a semi-logarithmic graph.
