Consider the following data of favorite sports by 40 people:
The graph of the above data can be drawn using the following steps:
- Step 1: Draw the XY axes.
- Step 2: Write the names of the sport on the X-axis and the number of people on the Y-axis.
- Step 3: Choose a scale according to the data. Here the best scale is 1 centimetre = 2 people.
- Step 4: Mark 2, 4, 6, and so on up to 12 on the Y-axis.
- Step 5:Â 10 people like cricket. So draw a bar up to 10.
To represent 12 people who said football, draw a bar up to 12. To represent 11 people who said tennis, draw a bar up to 11.
To represent 7 people who said other sports, draw a bar up to 7.
