Question

Read the bar graph shown in fig. and answer the following question:
Of which state, were the minimum number of tickets sold?

Answer 1

Hint: In a bar graph the bars drawn will be of uniform width. One of the axes depicts the variable quantity. The other axis shows the measure of the variable. In a bar chart, the heights or the lengths of the bars represents the value of the variable. We have to read the given bar graph and obtain data from it.

Complete step by step answer:
We have to find the state tickets that were sold minimum. Let us recollect how to read data from a bar graph. We know that bar charts or bar graphs are the visual representation of a grouped data, which may be in the form of vertical or horizontal rectangular bars, where the lengths of the bars are equivalent to the measure of data. We can see in a bar graph that the bars drawn will be of uniform width. We will depict the variable quantity on one of the axes. The other axis shows the measure of the variable. In a bar chart, the heights or the lengths of the bars represents the value of the variable.
From the given bar chart, we can obtain the following data.
Number of Dubai tickets sold = 80
Number of Punjab state tickets sold = 50
Number of Haryana state tickets sold = 100
Number of Rajasthan state tickets sold = 20
Number of Assam state tickets sold = 40
From the above data, we can conclude that the Rajasthan state tickets were sold the least.
Hence, the minimum number of tickets sold were of Rajasthan state.

Note: Students must read the bar graph carefully as there is a high chance to make mistakes when reading the Y-axis values. They must also check for the units in the X-axis and Y-axis, and if any of these are present, it must be included in the final answer.
