Data is a collection of raw facts, numbers, or observations that we gather for reference or analysis.
Data handling is the method of collecting, organizing, and presenting data so that it becomes easy to understand and interpret.
Organizing data helps us understand information quickly, make comparisons, spot patterns, and draw conclusions.
Tally marks are vertical strokes used to record frequencies in groups of five for easy counting.
Tally marks are grouped as four straight lines and the fifth line is drawn diagonally across them, making a group of five
A frequency table shows how many times each observation occurs in a dataset.
A bar graph is a visual representation of data using rectangular bars of equal width but different heights (or lengths) to show frequencies.
Bar graphs help compare different categories easily.
The horizontal axis is called the X-axis.
The vertical axis is called the Y-axis.
Scale shows the value represented by each unit on the axes (e.g., 1 unit = 10 students).
Yes. Bar graphs can be drawn vertically or horizontally.
A double bar graph uses two bars side-by-side to compare two related sets of data.
