Constructing bar charts

Statistics and Probabilit y

To construct a bar chart choose suitable scales for the vertical and horizontal axes use a jagged mark on the vertical axis if the frequency of the data is too high determine the length or height of each bar based on the frequency of the data represented by the bar draw the bars and space them out regularly label the axes and write the title above the chart The above steps can also be used to construct a multiple bar chart if more than one set of data are given.

Example:

Class No. of Boys No. of Girls

A 18 12

B 14 16

C 15 15

D 11 19

Draw a multiple bar chart showing the numbers of boys and girls in four classes.

Probability
The probability, that is the chance, of an event taking place can be certain, possible or impossible.
