A bar graph is a graphical representation of data, by rectangular bars.
Example:In a school, there are 15, 20, 45, and 39 students with yellow, red, blue, and green dresses, respectively. We can represent this data using a bar graph:
Data categories:Type of things in the data.
Data value:Numerical value of each category.
Scale:To draw the bar with numbers by scaling.
Title:We need to give an appropriate title to the graph.
Example:
The number of children in five different batches of an educational institute is given below by a vertical bar graph.
Here, 1 unit length = 10 children.
From this graph, we can find
Question:
What is the number of students in Batch 3?
Answer:
From the graph, the number of students in batch 3 is 40.
Question:
The maximum number of students present in which batch?
Answer:
The maximum number of students present in batch 2, the number of students is 50.
Example:
The data for the baking of cakes in a bakery from Monday to Saturday is shown below by a horizontal bar graph.
1 unit = 10 cakes
Question 1:
Maximum numbers of cakes baked on which day?
Answer:
Question 2:
Minimum numbers of cakes baked on which day?
Answer:
Minimum numbers of cakes baked on Monday.
Let us consider,
We have four different types of animals, such as cat, dog, rabbit, and hamster and the corresponding numbers are 40, 30, 10, and 70 respectively.
Note: Scale: 1 unit=10 animals.
Transformation of a horizontal bar graph to a vertical bar graph:
From this graph, we can make the table
The following table shows number of visitors to park for the months January to March
Month | January | February | March |
Month | 150 | 300 | 250 |
Also, from the graph we have
Also, we can make the vertical graph by the similar data:
