4. Example 2: Reading a Bar Graph Use the bar graph to answer each question. Which biomes in the graph have an average summer temperature of 30 C or greater?

5. Example 3: Making a Bar Graph Use the given data to make a bar graph. Step 1: Find an appropriate scale and interval. The scale must include all of the data values. The interval separates the scale into equal parts. Step 2: Use the data to determine the lengths of the bars. Draw bars of equal width. The bars cannot touch. Step 3: Title the graph and label the axes.
