BAR GRAPH. It is a graph which uses horizontal or vertical bars to represent data.

It is a visual
display used to compare the frequency of occurrences of different characteristics of data. This type of graph
allows us to compare groups of data and make quick generalization about the data by examining the length of
the bars. Since only the lengths of the bars are important, the widths are all made equal. A gap between the
bars is spaced equally.
Steps to draw a bar graph:
1. To draw a bar graph, you to start with your frequency table.
2. From the frequency table, decide on the range and scale of the frequency data axis (vertical axis) and
the grouped data axis (horizontal axis)
3. Draw the vertical and horizontal axes and label them.
4. Write the graph title at the top.
5. Mark the data on the graph for each data group and draw the bar.

Example 2: Use the frequency table below to draw a bar graph.

Fruits Frequency Solution: Use the frequency table on the left to draw a bar graph.
Banana 35
Apple 23 The graph has a title and both axes are
Orange 18 labeled. Upon looking the graph, we can generalize quickly that the favorite fruit is
Grapes 45 grapes.
