What We Learn?

1. We have seen that data is a collection of numbers gathered to give some information.
2. To get a particular information from the given data quickly, the data can be arranged
   in a tabular form using tally marks.
3. We learnt how a pictograph represents data in the form of pictures, objects or parts
   of objects. We have also seen how to interpret a pictograph and answer the related
   questions. We have drawn pictographs using symbols to represent a certain number
   of items or things. For example, 1 symbole= 100 books.
4. We have discussed how to represent data by using a bar diagram or a bar graph. In
   a bar graph, bars of uniform width are drawn horizontally or vertically with equal
   spacing between them. The length of each bar gives the required information.
5. To do this we also discussed the process of choosing a scale for the graph.
   For example, 1 unit = 100 students. We have also practised reading a given bar
   graph. We have seen how interpretations from the same can be made.
