Expert Solution
Step 1

Bar graphs are best for comparing the totals of categories.

Bar graphs are used to depict the categorical data using rectangular bars of different heights.

It is one of the means of data handling in statistics.

Whereas line graphs are line charts, which shows a series of data points that is connected using lines.

It is difficult to compare the totals of categories using points and lines.
