Which of the following types of bar graphs shows increases and decreases compared with a given average?

The type of bar graph that shows increases and decreases compared with a given average is called a Divergent bar graph. A Divergent bar graph uses two different colors to represent values above and below the average. The bars on one side of the average line are colored one way to show values above the average, while the bars on the other side are colored differently to show values below the average. This makes it easy to see which values are above or below the average, and by how much.
