Present the following information in a suitable tabular form:

In 1960, out of total of 1750 workers of a factory, 1200 were members of a trade union. The number of women employed was 200, of which 175 did not belong to a trade union. In 1965, the number of union workers increased to 1580 out of which 1290 were men, on the other hand, the number of non-union workers fell down to 208 of which 180 were men. In 1970, there were 1300 employees who belonged to a trade union and 50 who did not belong to a trade union. Of all the employees in 1970, 300 were women of who only 8 did not belong to trade union.

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 ?

(iii) Present these data diagram-matically.
