At a Glance

l A data is the collection of number gathered to get some information.
l Collection, organisation, presentation, analysis and interpretation data are the five stages in a
statistical investigation.
l If information or data is represented by pictures or objects, it is known as a pictograph. Pictograph are
drawn using symbols to represent a certain number of items.

l Bar diagram or bar graph is another important method of representing data. Bars of uniform width
are drawn horizontally or vertically with equal spacing between them. The height of the bar
represents the numerical value of the data. Bar graphs are easy to make, less time consuming and
help in faster comparison of data because of their visual impact.

l Choosing a scale is very important while drawing a bar graph and pictograph.
l We have learnt how data can be interpreted from a pictograph as well as bar diagram.
