||
|
A Pareto chart using the Number Sold for each type |
||
|
A side-by-side bar chart |
||
|

||
|
The mode |
A side by side bar chart
Reason: The side by side bar chart is the best alternative since it helps to display two variables. One of the x axis and the other on the y axis. Our data has twp variables units sold which can be on the x- axis, and sales on the y-axis.
This will help to understand the data better and much more logically.
