If dinkles vary with binkles, I feel like it makes more sense to have binkles be the x-axis?

Also, I feel like a bar graph is not the best choice. I’d probably just do a line chart (unless there’s some reason for dinkles to only come in bundles of 10), but I think there are other choices. I recommend kidnapping Tufte to get a more expert opinion.

Probably, but it has been suggested to me that I might perhaps try out a sort of chart that I maybe am not particularly very experienced with, perhaps.

Why not chart the direct relationship between count of dinkles to count of binkles with a scatter plot and then find the trend line and run an ANOVA analysis to find the statistical significance and general relationship between the two metrics?

A bar chart works for comparisons but a scatter plot is so much more fun

Here’s a fun little chart I share with coworkers when they aren’t sure what type of graph that they should use.
