Data handling involves collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting data. Understanding measures of central tendency and data representation helps us make sense of information and draw meaningful conclusions.
First, let's explore basic concepts of data handling and statistical measures.
1. Define a bar graph.
Awesome! A bar graph uses rectangular bars to represent data visually.
2. What is the mode of the data: 4, 6, 3, 4, 2, 4, 5, 3?
Great job! 4 appears 3 times, more than any other value.
3. Find the mean of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.
Perfect! Mean = (10+20+30+40+50) ÷ 5 = 150 ÷ 5 = 30.
4. What is the range of the data: 15, 22, 19, 25, 30, 18?
Excellent! Range = 30 - 15 = 15.
5. Define "frequency" in data handling.
Super! Frequency shows how often each value appears in the dataset.
6. Which type of bar graph is used to compare two related sets of data?
That's correct! Double bar graphs compare two related datasets side by side.
7. What is the median of 2, 5, 7, 8, 10?
Well done! The median is the middle value when arranged in order.
8. The marks scored by 5 students are: 12, 18, 15, 10, 20. Find the mean marks.
Brilliant! Mean = (12+18+15+10+20) ÷ 5 = 75 ÷ 5 = 15.
9. What is a histogram?
You nailed it! Histograms show frequency distribution of continuous data.
10. Give an example where data is collected through observation.
Perfect! Traffic counting involves direct observation and recording.
