                After reading the above average monthly rainfall data for 2024, we can answer the following
                questions easily.
                     (  a)  In which month was the average rain precipitation maximum?

                           In July.
                     (  b)  What was the average precipitation in August?
                                                                               1   17
                           In August, the average rain precipitation was  8      =    ×20mm= 170 mm.

                                                                               2    2
                Bar Graph

                A bar graph is a pictorial representation of ungrouped data in the form of vertical or horizontal
                rectangular bars of equal width and varying heights with equal space between them. The data can
                be interpreted more efficiently and compared more clearly using a bar graph.
                Have a look at the following bar graphs.
                In a vertical bar graph, bars are arranged          In a horizontal bar graph, bars are arranged
                vertically.                                         horizontally.


























                The height (or length) of each bar indicates the corresponding value of the numerical data. From
                the vertical bar graph, we can easily infer the following information.
                     (  a)  What information is given by the bar graph?

                          The given bar graph shows the production of cycles from January to May.
                     (  b)  In which month was the production
                          maximum?                                         Quick Check
                          In March.                                     By studying the horizontal bar graph, answer

                     (  c)  After which month was there a               the following questions.
                          sudden fall in production?                     1. What is the least number of watches sold and

                          There was a sudden fall in the                   who sold them?
                          production after March.                        2. What is the difference between the highest and
                                                                           the lowest number of watches sold?
                     (  d)  Find the ratio between the maximum           3. Which seller sold more than 500 watches?
                          production and the minimum                     4. What is the total number of watches sold by all
                          production during the given period.              the sellers?

                                                                   97                                       Data Handling
