CLASS - VI MATHEMATICS CH:9 DATA HANDLING

General Instructions:
1. The following notes needs to be filed.
2. IMPORTANT – DELETED SYLLABUS – EX 9.1 (Q4 TO Q7), EX 9.2 AND 9.4
Data
Data is a collection of raw facts and figures that give you information.
Recording Data
Recording of data depends upon the requirement of the data. Everybody has different ways
to record data.

If we have to compare the choice of the people about certain movies then we have to collect
the data of the survey which tells the choice of the people about those movies.
Organization of Data
Raw data is difficult to read, so we have to organize it in such a way so that we can use it
in need.

Data can be organized in a tabular form.

Data is represented in a tabular form using frequency distribution and the tally marks.

Frequency tells the number of times the particular observation happened.


Tally marks are used to show the frequency of the data.
Tally marks are represented as

Example
There are 30 students in a class. They have to choose one sport each for the sports
period.5 took badminton, 10 took cricket, 4 took football, 1 took hockey, 3 took tennis and
7 went for volleyball. Represent this data in the frequency distribution table.

Solution
To make a frequency distribution table-

 Make a table with three columns.

 Write the name of sports in the first column.

 Write the respective frequencies in front of each sport.

 Mark the tally marks according to the frequency given.

Pictograph
If we represent the data with the pictures of objects instead of numbers then it is
called Pictograph. Pictures make it easy to understand the data and answer the questions
related to it by just seeing it.

We can easily answer the questions like who has a maximum number of toys, who has the
least number of toys etc.

Bar Graph
As the pictograph is a very time-consuming process, so we can use another way to
represent data.

If we use the bars of the same width with equal spacing to represent the data in which the
length of the bars represent the frequency is called Bar Graph or Bar Diagram.

Interpretation of a Bar Graph
Example
The following graph tells the favourite colours in a class of 30 students.

Answer the following questions:

 Which colour is liked by the maximum number of students?

 Which colour is liked by the same number of students?

Solution
 The graph shows that the pink colour is liked by 9 students so it is the favourite
colour of the maximum number of students.

 Blue and green colour bars are equal in length and both are liked by 6 students.
