Question

A survey conducted by an organisation for the cause of illness and death among the women between the age 15-44 (in years) worldwide, found the following figures (in %)
I.Represent the information given above graphically
II.Which condition is the major cause of women’s ill health and death worldwide?
III.Try to find out, with the help of your teacher, any two factors which play a major role in the cause in (ii) above being the major cause.

S.No.	Causes	Female fatality rate (%)
1	Reproductive health conditions	31.8
2	Neuropsychiatric conditions	25.4
3	Injuries	12.4
4	Cardiovascular conditions	4.3
5	Respiratory conditions	4.1
6	Other causes	22.0

Answer 1

Hint: In the bar graph, we draw bars of uniform width with equal spacing between them on one axis with various heights. We shall later observe the graph and analyse the major cause of women’s ill health.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Bar graphs can be used to show how something changes over time or to compare items. They have an x-axis (horizontal) and a y-axis (vertical). Typically, the x-axis has numbers for the time period or what is being measured, and the y-axis has numbers for the amount of stuff being measured.
We draw the bar graph of the data choosing the causes on the x-axis, and female fatality on the y axis. Along the x-axis, we take equal width for all boxes and maintain equal gaps in between them, let one cause be represented by 1 unit along the Y-axis, we take the scale as 1 unit = 4%.

(ii) From the graph we observe that reproductive health conditions is the major causes of women’s ill health & death worldwide.

(iii) The factors are as follows:
A.Lack of knowledge among the women about various complications and steps to be taken to overcome the difficulties.
B.Lack of medical facilities

Note: Bar graph is the simple graphical representation when class intervals are not mentioned. Any other graphical representation can be used.
