Some More Questions From Presentation of Data Chapter

Width of bars in a bar diagram need not be equal.

Width of rectangles in a histogram should essentially be equal.

 Histogram can only be formed with continuous classification of data.

Histogram and column diagram are the same method of presentaton of data.

Mode of a frequency distribution can be known graphically with the help of histogram.

Median of a frequency distribution cannot be known from the ogives.

What kind of diagrams are more effective in representing the following:

(i) Monthly rainfall in a year.

(ii) Composition of the population of Delhi by religion.

(iii) Components of cost in a factory.

Suppose you want to emphasise the increase in the share of urban non-workers and lower level of urbanisation in India as shown in Example 4.2. How would you do it in the tabular form?

How does the procedure of drawing a histogram differ when class intervals are unequal in comparison to equal class intervals in a frequency table?

The Indian Sugar Mills Association reported that, ‘Sugar production during the first fortnight of December 2001 was about 3,87,000 tonnes, as against 3,78,000 tonnes during the same fortnight last year (2000).

(i) Present the data in tabular form.

(ii) Suppose you were to present these data in diagrammatic form which of the diagrams would you use and why ?
