Multiple plots

Sometimes a dataset is so complex that it takes several plots to explore properly. Rather than trying to find a single, perfect plot that captures all the insight, you can combine several plots into a report or – if you want to have fun – a dashboard.

Here you can see the German Bundesrat (Federal Council) seats dataset in a dashboard of three plots. In the "by party" plots, values are colored according to each party's marketing brand color. The level of transparency is based on power: the primary party in a coalition is fully opaque, secondary parties are slightly transparent, and tertiary parties are very transparent.

Explore the dashboard and determine which statement is false.
