Additional Practice Questions
How could you arrange data to find a common favorite among your peers?
easyAnswer: You can create a tally chart to collect responses from your peers, then convert this data into a frequency table or bar graph to visually determine the most common favorite.
Can you create a bar graph from the given frequency table of sweets preferred by your class?
mediumAnswer: Yes, to create a bar graph, list the sweets on the horizontal axis and the number of students on the vertical axis. Adjust the scale accordingly and draw bars of appropriate heights for each sweet.
Why is choosing an appropriate scale important when creating a bar graph?
mediumAnswer: Choosing an appropriate scale ensures the bar graph is easy to read and fits well within the space, accurately representing the data without overcrowding or excessive spacing.
Illustrate how a pictograph can be used to represent the number of books borrowed from a library.
easyAnswer: A pictograph can use book icons to represent a certain number of books borrowed each day. For instance, if one book icon equals 5 books, then on a day where 20 books were borrowed, four book icons would be used.
Discuss the advantages of using bar graphs over pictographs in data representation.
mediumAnswer: Bar graphs are generally more accurate for representing larger datasets and can be easier to read at a glance, especially when the quantities do not align well with the pictograph's scale.
