Researchers surveyed Canadian students on their perceptions of the globalization of their campuses (Lambert & Usher, 2013). The 13,000 participants were domestic undergraduate and graduate students€”that is, they were not recently from countries outside of Canada. The pie chart here shows the responses to one survey item: €œThe increasing number of international students attending my institution has led to improvements in the university€™s reputation and image.€

a. What is the story that these data are telling? 

b. Why would a bar graph of these data tell this story better than a pie chart does? 

c. Create a bar graph of these data, keeping the bars in the order of the labels here€”from €œStrongly disagree€ on the left to €œNot sure/Don€™t know/N/A€ on the right. 

d. Why would it not make sense to create a Pareto chart in this case?
