A pictograph states the cost of a C-section equal to $4500 and the cost of a vaginal delivery equal to $2600 using a large milk bottle and a small milk bottle, respectively.

A graph is said to be deceptive when it shows misleading results when compared to the actual scenario.

The deceptive feature of the graph can be identified by a comparison of the results with true data.

The results state that the cost of a C-section is equal to $4500 and the cost of a vaginal delivery is equal to $2600.

By observing the graph, the difference between the costs of the C-section delivery and vaginal delivery appears to be greater than five times when the actual difference is approximately twice.

Moreover, the cost is a one-dimensional quantity, whereas the milk bottle is a three-dimensional figure. In other words, the graph is a 3-dimensional one, and the volume of the larger milk bottle is far greater than the volume of the smaller bottle.

Thus, the two milk bottles create a deceptive belief in the minds of the readers about the difference in the costs of the two types of deliveries.
