1. What is data handling? Answer in your own words.
2. Try to name ways of organizing data.
 Learning Objective
 To recall the previous concept of data handling.
 To understand how to use different types of graphs to organize
various types of data.
 To understand how to draw a bar graph and double bar graph.
 MAIN TEACHING PHASE
 WHAT IS DATA HANDLING?
Data handling means collecting the set of data and presenting in a different form. Data
is a collection of numerical figures that represents a particular kind of information.
The collection of observations which are gathered initially is called the raw data.
 WHAT IS A BAR GRAPH?
 A display of information using bars of uniform width, their heights being proportional to the respective
values.
 The purpose of a bar graph is to convey relational information quickly in a visual manner. The bars
display the value for a particular category of data. The vertical axis on the left or right side of the bar
graph is called the y-axis and the horizontal axis on the bottom side of the bar graph is called the x-
axis.
 Bar graphs are the pictorial representation of data (generally grouped), in the form of vertical
or horizontal rectangular bars, where the length of bars are proportional to the measure of
data. They are also known as bar charts. Bar graphs are one of the means of data handling in
statistics.
VIDEO REFLECTION
 WHAT CONSTITUTES A BAR GRAPH?
Following are the many parts of a bar graph:
 Vertical axis
 Horizontal axis
 The bar graph’s title informs the reader of its purpose.
 The title of the horizontal axis indicates the information that is shown there.
 The title of the vertical axis indicates the data it is used to display.
 The categories on the particular axis indicate what each bar represents.
 The bar graph’s scale demonstrates how numbers are used in the data. It is a system of markings
spaced at specific intervals that aid in object measurement. For instance, the scale of a graph may be
stated as 1 unit = 10 fruits
 HOW TO DRAW A BAR GRAPH?
 Let us consider an example, we have four different types of pets, such as cat, dog, rabbit, and hamster and the
corresponding numbers are 22, 39, 5 and 9 respectively.
 In order to visually represent the data using the bar graph, we need to follow the steps given below.
 Step 1: First, decide the title of the bar graph.
 Step 2: Draw the horizontal axis and vertical axis. (For example, Types of Pets)
 Step 3: Now, label the horizontal axis.
 Step 4: Write the names on the horizontal axis, such as Cat, Dog, Rabbit, Hamster.
 Step 5: Now, label the vertical axis. (For example, Number of Pets)
 Step 6: Finalise the scale range for the given data.
 Step 7: Finally, draw the bar graph that should represent each category of the pet with their respective numbers.
