It just doesn’t add up - Mislead Chart by TheStar News

From TheStar News 23/3/2020
It just doesn’t add up. We’ve all seen these before. A chart that simply don’t add up to a 100 percent, like the one below which totals 28% percent. Although you don’t have to be a math wiz to figure this one out, the mistake is more common than we think.
Another common mistake is selecting a data visualization that does not accurately reflect the information
There is a load of data in the sea of noise. To turn your numbers into knowledge, your job is not only to separate noise from the data, but also to present it the right way. 


The one below which total 36% also don’t add up to a 100 percent. Most of chart used in The StarNews to confuse readers.
