c) To draw a compound bar graph, you need the specific data for the number of visitors to selected national parks in Kenya. This data is not provided in the image.
Assuming you have the data, here are the steps to draw the compound bar graph:
1. Identify the categories: The categories will be the national parks.
2. Identify the components for each category: For a compound bar graph, each bar represents a total, and it is divided into segments representing different components (e.g., different types of visitors, or visitors over different years, if such data were available). Since the question asks for "number of visitors," it implies a single value per park, or perhaps a breakdown of visitors (e.g., local vs. international). Without specific data, we assume each bar represents the total visitors for a park, and if there are sub-categories, they would be stacked.
3. Calculate bar heights: For each national park, determine the total number of visitors. Using the scale of $1\text{ cm}$ to represent $100,000$ visitors, divide the total visitors for each park by $100,000$ to get the height of the bar in centimeters. If there are sub-categories, calculate the height for each sub-category and stack them.
4. Draw the axes: Draw a horizontal x-axis for the national parks and a vertical y-axis for the number of visitors.
5. Label the axes: Label the x-axis with the names of the national parks. Label the y-axis "Number of Visitors" and mark the scale (e.g., $100,000$, $200,000$, etc., corresponding to $1\text{ cm}$, $2\text{ cm}$, etc.).
6. Draw the bars: For each national park, draw a bar to the calculated height. If it's a compound bar graph with sub-categories, stack the segments within each bar, using different shading or colors for each component.
7. Add a key/legend: If using different shadings or colors for components, include a legend to explain what each segment represents.
8. Give the graph a title: A clear title like "Number of Visitors to Selected National Parks in Kenya."
d) Two advantages of using compound bar graphs to represent geographical data are:
• They allow for the comparison of total values across different categories (e.g., total visitors for different parks) while simultaneously showing the composition or breakdown of each total (e.g., local vs. international visitors within each park).
• They are visually effective for displaying multiple related data sets in a single graph, making it easier to identify patterns, trends, and relationships between the components and the overall totals.
