Interpreting stacked bar plots

If you care about percentages rather than counts, then stacked bar plots are often a good choice of plot.

The dataset for this exercise relates to another question from the Health Survey for England. Adults aged 65 or more were asked how many "activities of daily living" (day-to-day tasks) they needed assistance with.

Type show_plot in the DataCamp console and press ENTER to see the plot. It's interactive – hover your mouse over the bars to see the percentage for that block.
