Question

The below table shows the favourite sports of 250 students of a school. Represent the data by a bar graph.

Sports	Cricket	Tennis	Football	Badminton	Swimming
Number of students	75	50	35	25	65

Answer 1

Hint: For solving this question you should know about the bar graph representation. In this problem we will set our data in a good manner and show them with the help of a bar graph. In this process we will divide a big box in some small boxes as per our requirement.

Complete step-by-step solution:
According to our question it is asked to represent some data by a bar graph. As we know that a bar graph is a form of graphs in which we represent the data with the help of bar. In this process we collect the data for various sources and then we represent them in a graph. And in this we have consider small divisions and for his we divide the big divisions into small divisions. So, we can draw a graph by following these steps:
Step 1: On a graph, draw a vertical line OY and horizontal line OX. These lines represents y-axis and x-axis.
Step 2: Along OX write the name of the sports taken at uniform gaps.
Step 3: Choose the scale: 1 small division = 1 student, 1 big division = 10 students.
Step 4: Calculate the height of various bars.
Cricket = 75 small divisions
Football = 35 small divisions
Tennis = 50 small divisions
Badminton = 25 small divisions
Swimming = 65 small divisions
Step 5: Represent these as:

Note: While solving these types of graph questions, you have to be especially careful about choosing the scale for the graph. Because if you select a small scale, then it will not include all the data and if it is big, then it will leave some data for sure. So, the scale must be such that it includes all the data.
