Question
How many students like chocolate ice creams?
- 14
- 5
- 10
- 6
Hint:
The visual display of data (often grouped) in the shape of vertical or horizontal rectangular bars, with the length of the bars corresponding to the measure of the data, is called a bar graph. Here we have given a bar graph and we have to find how many students like chocolate ice cream.
The correct answer is: 14
Now we know that a graph is made up of vertices, or points, and edges, or lines connecting those vertices. Graphs come in a wide variety of forms in discrete mathematics.
The heights of the rectangular bars in a bar graph, which displays complete data, are proportionate to the values they indicate.
There are two types of a bar graph:
- Vertical Bar Graph
- Horizontal Bar Graph
Although the bars in bar graphs can be plotted either horizontally or vertically, the vertical bar graph is the one that is most frequently used.
Now we have given a bar graph which is a Vertical one. In that graph, there are 4 bars, Vanilla, strawberry, chocolate and mango. We have asked how many students like chocolate ice cream.
So from the graph, we can see that the bar of chocolate is touching the y-axis at 14.
So 14 students like chocolate ice cream.
Here we used the concept of bar graphs and understood are different types of bar graphs. 14 students like chocolate ice cream. Although the bars in bar graphs can be plotted either horizontally or vertically, the vertical bar graph is the one that is most frequently used.
