Class 06 - Maths (Ganita Prakash)

Data Handling and Presentation - 01

Solution

1. Choose the correct option:

1. (b) B and G
Explanation:

By observing the choices of the fruits of 42 students in a class, Banana (B) and Grapes(G) are liked by an equal
number of students i.e. 8 students each.

2. (d) Raw data

Explanation:

Data which is not in proper state is raw data.

3. (d) Grouped data

Explanation:

Only Grouped data can be represented by histogram.

4. (c) 122 pictures

Explanation:

122 pictures

5. (c) A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

The representation of data in a table is formally referred to as tabular presentation.

Representation through bar graphs and pictographs is more efficient or organized.
So, (A) is a true statement and (R) is a false statement.

2. Fill in the blanks with suitable words:

1. 1. Tabulation

2. Raw

3. Frequency

3. State whether each of the following statement is True or False:

1. (b) False
Explanation:

False

2. (a) True
Explanation:

myCBSEguide
True,
Follows from definition.

3. (b) False
Explanation:

False

4. Answer the following questions:

1. A bar graph

2. The given data can be represented in a table using tally marks as;

Blood group Tally marks Number of students

A \cancel|||| ||| 8

B \cancel|||| || 7
O \cancel|||| | 6
AB |||| 4
3. a. 24
b. 20
c. 1 unit = 4

d.

e. & f

5. 1. → (b),
2. → (c),
3. → (d),
4. → (a)
6. Answer the following questions:
1. i. D has the maximum value of 350
ii. A + D = 250 + 350 = 600
B + E = 300 + 275 = 575

myCBSEguide
Hence A + D is greater.

2. Ascending order : 27,28,32,35,36,38,39, 40, 41, 42,46,46

Two student obtain 46 marks, 46 marks being the highest

7. Answer the following questions:

1. From the above given table, we have,

Total number of bulbs sold in a week = 12 + 16 + 8 + 10 + 14 + 8 + 18 = 86
9 bulbs can be in = 1 carton
1 bulb can be in = cartons
1

86 bulbs can be in = 86

9
= 9.55 cartons
As number of cartons cannot be in decimal.
Therefore, 10 cartons will be needed.

2. Construct a frequency table with equal class intervals, taking the first of the class intervals as 610-630, where 630 is
not included.

Wages
610-630 630-650 650-670 670-690 690-710 710-730
(in Dollars)

Frequency 4 4 5 3 7 5
8. Answer the following questions:
1. i. Class size = [Upper class limit] - [Lower class limit] = 125 - 100 = 25.
ii. The class 200-225 is having the highest frequency (which is 140).
iii. The class 300-325 is having the lowest frequency (which is 20).
iv. The upper limit of the class interval 250-275 is 275.
v. The classes (150–175) and (225-250) are having the same frequency (which is 55).
2. a. 8 × 10000 = 80000
b. 3rd week
c. 4th week
d. 32 × 10000 = 320000
9. a. 6 students like Science.
b. Art is the least favorite subject among the students.

c.

OR
The total number of students who like Mathematics or English is 13 (8 + 5).
