            The horizontal bar graph given below shows the life span of some animals.





























            Interpretation of Bar Graph


            We can get a lot of information from a bar graph. Let us consider the horizontal bar graph given
            above and try to answer the following questions:

             (a)  What is the title of the bar graph?
                 The title of the bar graph is: Maximum life span of animals in captivity.

             (b)  What are labelled on the two axes?

                 The names of animals are mentioned on the vertical axis and the life span (in years) is
                 labelled on the horizontal axis by taking a suitable scale.

              (c)  Which animal has the longest life span?

                 Elephant has the longest life span.

             (d)  Which animal has a longer life span: a camel or a giraffe?
                 A giraffe has a longer life span than the camel.
