The graph is misleading because the y-axis starts at 160, which exaggerates the difference in the data. If the y-axis started at 0 or a lower value, the difference between the bars would not appear as extreme. Additionally, the bars are not proportionate to the data they represent, as the height of the bars should be directly proportional to the data they represent.
