Integrated Learning
In mathematics, sometimes, we have large data to analyze, and it is difficult to handle large
data in numbers. To remove this problem, we graphically represent the data. There are many
ways to represent data graphically. Bar graph is one of it.
It is a widely used method of data representation. It is easy to understand. It is used in
various fields such as retail, business, sports etc.
Here is a review of a beauty product. 2006 people rated the product. How many people gave
5-star rating? Plot the same in bar graph.

Answer 1083 people
