amount of A amount of A
1. amount of B = amount of B
amount of A angle of A
2. total amount = 360
ii) Histogram
General Information:
1. In a histogram frequency is proportional to area. If frequency is F and area is A, then F = kA.
2. The value of k may be 1 or any other number. If k =1, frequency= area [F =A].
3. The rectangles of a histogram are called bar.

To find frequency from a given histogram follow the following steps:

1. In these type of question, frequency of one bar is given. Reading the question carefully, find
the frequency and area of that bar.
2. Using that frequency and area, and using the formula F = kA, find the value of k.
3. Use 1
F  KA , F  kA , F  kA , F  kA ,
1 2 2 3 3 4 4 .....to find the unknown frequencies.

Here F1 = frequency of 1 bar, A1 = Area of 1st bar.

st

F2 = frequency of 2nd bar, A2= Area of 2nd bar.

F3 = frequency of 3rd bar, A3= Area of 3rd bar.
F4 = frequency of 4th bar, A4= Area of 4th bar.
To complete an incomplete histogram follow the following steps:
1. In these type of question, one bar must be drawn in the question. Find the frequency and area of
that bar.
2. Using that frequency and area, and using the formula F = kA, find the value of k.
frequency 1

3. Using the formula, frequency density = class width k , find the frequency  density of
the remaining bears.
4. Taking frequency density as height and class interval as width, draw the remaining bars.
To draw a new histogram from a frequency table follow the following steps:
1. Find the frequency density of the bars using the formula,
frequency
,[k  1]
frequency density = class width
2. Taking frequency density as height and class interval as width, draw the bars.
3. If all class width of the given frequency table have the same width, the frequency of the table may
be taken as frequency density.
(iii) Bar Chart
1. Horizontal axis is for name of something and vertical axis for frequency.
2. To draw a bar chart, if any scale is given, follow that scale, otherwise choose a suitable scale.
3. Widths of all bars of a bar chart are same.
Comparison of Bar Chart and Histogram
1. In a bar chart all bars must have the same width, but in a histogram all bars may have same width
or not.
2. In a bar chart vertical axis represent frequency, but in a histogram vertical axis represent
frequency density.

3. In a bar chart name of something is written in the horizontal axis, but in a histogram numbers of class
width is written in the horizontal axis.
4. In a bar chart, frequency = height of the bar. In a histogram, frequency = area of the bar or k  area
of the bar.
(iv-A) Mean, Median, Mode [From Table]
Mean means average, median means middle number and mode means most occurring frequency,
1. Mean: (i) The numbers in the upper row are the values of number (x) and the numbers in the
lower row are their frequency (f).


 xf  sum of x  f
mean 
f sum of f
ii) If x is given in range, take the midpoint of the range as the value of x.
starting number  ending number
midpoint = 2
30  40
 35
For example, if 30 < x  40, take x as 2 .
2. Median: (a) To find median value of x, follow the
following steps.
i) Find cumulative frequency. [see page 210 of D. Rayner]
n 1
ii) Find median frequency using 2 where n is total frequency.
n 1
iii) If 2 is a decimal number, suppose 21.5 find the x values corresponding to 21st and 22nd
frequency and take their average.
b) If x is given in range, median value of x can not be found, only median interval (range) can be
found. To find median interval, find median frequency. The interval where median frequency lies is
the median interval.
3. Mode: The value of x which has the highest frequency is the mode.
(iv-B) Mean, Median, Mode [From Bar Chart]
1. Mean: Horizontal number are value of x and heights of the bars are their frequency (f)
 xf  sum of x  f
mean =  sum of f
f
2. Median: a) To find median value of x, follow the following steps.
i) Find cumulative frequency, (see page 210 of D. Rayner]
n 1
ii) Find median frequency using 2 , where n is total frequency.
n 1
iii) If 2 is a whole number, find the bar where this frequency lies. The x value of this bar is the
median value of x.
n 1
(iv) If 2 is a decimal number, suppose 21.5, find in which bar/bars 21 st and 22nd frequency lie. If
both of them lie in the same bar, the x value of that bar is the median value of x. If they lie in different
bars, find the average of the x values of these two bars. This average is the median.
3. Mode: The value of x which has the maximum height is the mode.
(iv-C) Mean, Median, Mode (Other)
sum of numbers
1. (i) mean= number of numbers
(ii) sum of numbers = mean  number of numbers.
2. Median: To find median from raw data, follow the following steps.
(i) Arrange the numbers in ascending order
(ii) Find the median by observation Or
