Data Handling

 Data

Data is a collection of information in the form of numerical figures. It

can be arranged and displayed in the form of tables, graphs or charts.
In the previous classes, we have learnt to represent the data by
pictographs, tally charts and bar graphs. Now we will learn about double
bar graph and pie chart.
 Double Bar Graph

To compare data, we use double bar graphs. The following examples will
help us to understand the concept of double bar graphs and the method
of drawing them.
 Double Bar Graph

Example : Alka conducted a survey in her class to find out which colours
are liked by most of the boys and girls of her class and record the
observations as follows :

Draw a double bar graph of the above data.

 Double Bar Graph

Solution : Step 1: Draw horizontal and vertical axes. Mark the number of
boys and girls on vertical axis. Mark the colours on horizontal axis.
 Double Bar Graph

Step 2: Choose an appropriate scale for the vertical axis. Here, 1 cm = 2

children
Step 3 : For each colour, draw one bar for boys and one bar for girls.
Make a key to show different colours used for boys and girls bars.
 Double Bar Graph

Example : The given graph shows the number of sale of two models of
Maruti and Honda vehicles during five months. Look at the graph and
answer the following questions :
 Double Bar Graph

(a) Which model had the highest sale during first three months?
(b) During which month Maruti had the highest sale?
(c) What is the total number of Maruti sold?
(d) What is the total number of vehicles sold during the five months?
 Double Bar Graph

Solution : (a) Sale of Honda vehicle during first three months = 300
+200+250 =750
Sale of Maruti vehicles during first three months =400+100+200=700
So, the model of Honda had the highest sale during first three months.
(b) In January, Maruti had the highest sale.
(c) Total number of Maruti sold = 400+100+200+150+300=1150
(d) Total number of vehicles sold during the five months
= 300+400+200+100+250+200+300+150+250+300= 2450
 Exercise

Using the given data, draw a double bar graph to compare the marks
obtained by two students in five subjects:

boys and girls of a class, the data of which is as given below :
 Exercise

males and females year after year :

Draw a double bar graph to represent this information

 Exercise

in four subjects. Observe the graph and answer the following questions :
(a) Who has scored more marks in Mathematics?
(b) How many more marks has Ayushi obtained in English than Shruti?
(c) In which subject has Shruti scored more?
(d) What is the highest score?
 Exercise

The following double bar graph shows the number of hospitals in two
cities the years 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010 :
 Exercise

Observe the graph and answer the following questions :

(a) How many total hospitals are there in city A and in city B in the year
2000?
(b) Find the number of hospitals increased in city B from 1995 to 2005.
(c) Find the number of hospitals increased in city A from 1995 to 2010.
(d) In which city was the increase in the number of hospitals greater
between 1995 and 2005?
 Exercise

The bar graph given below shows the number of students, who study in
the three sections of class IV in a school :
 Exercise

Observe the graph and answer the following questions :

(a) Which section has more boys than girls?
(b) Which section has more girls than boys?
(c) How many students study in class IV B?
(d) How many students study in all the sections of class IV?
 Pie Chart

Data can also be represented by dividing a circle into sectors. Such

representation of data is called a pie chart or circle graph. Pie charts are
circular in shapes. Each section of the pie chart shows a fraction of the
total amount. It is generally used to compare parts of a whole.
 Pie Chart

Example : Given below is data of the games, the students of Class V like
to play:

Draw a pie chart.

 Pie Chart

Solution : Step 1 : Total number of students = 5 + 5+ 20 +10 = 10

Step 2: Find the fraction of students that like to play each
game.
 Pie Chart

Step 3: Draw a circle.

Step 4: Fill the circle according to the fractions.
The obtained circle is the required pie chart.
 Pie Chart

Example : Study the pie chart which shows the time spent by Rahul at
school on different activities and answer the following questions:
(a) Which activity is given half of the time spent in school?
(b) Which two activities together take one-fourth of the time spent in
school?
(c) Which activity takes the minimum time?
(d) If Rahul spends 6 hours in school, how many hours does he study
there?
 Pie Chart

Solution : (a) Time spent in studies is half of the total time.

(b) Art and craft and sports take one-fourth of the total time.
(c) Assembly takes the minimum time.
(d) Half of 6 hours i.e., 3 hours. So, Rahul studies 3 hours there.
