The graph above is a bar graph with six bars, each representing the number of website visits received by an Internet company monitoring its advertising efficacy. The website received visits anywhere from 1to 6 months after the ad campaign was initiated. The ads were grouped by advertising channel, and the number of site visits was recorded each month over a 6-month period. Select the best answer to fill in the blanks for each of the statements below, based on the data shown in the graph.
If we look at the information, it tells us each bar is related to one month.
The relationship between number of months since the campaign began and number of website visits is best described as [Dropdown Placeholder #1].
Number of months vs number of website visits
Now, in ONE month it is 40000, and in TWO months, it becomes 40000+38000, and so on.
So, if we go exactly as per the wordings of the questions, surely since every month there are visits, when we add the months one after another, the total visits will increase.
Hence, it is positive relation.
The number of visits after 4 months is closest to [Dropdown Placeholder #2] % of the number of visits after 1 month.
Again, the question says after the 4 months, so we should add for all the 4 months.
But the answer suggests, the intention was to find the relation of number of visits in the fourth month vs that in the first month.
The question is not able to convey what it seeks to ask.
Yes, question two seems ambigous regarding "number of visits
after X month". It rather seeks to ask "number of visits
on X
-th month"
