Which type of graph do you think is best for showing Flores del Mundo’s membership trends over the course of the year? I think a line graph would be best to show membership trends over the course of a year.

Does your answer change if you’re graphing total membership versus employee/spouse/dependent? Yes. I think a bar graph with 3 bars (employee, spouse, dependent) over the course of the year would most clearly show how each category compares.

Does your answer change if you want to show Eastern and Northern on the same graph? I would still stick with a bar graph with 3 bars (employee, spouse, dependent) but I would have a color bar for Eastern (let’s say orange) and a different color bar for Northern (let’s say blue) so it is easy to see how the employee/spouse/dependent membership compares for both regions.
