Question

Represent the following data using tally marks.

Catherine threw a dice $40$ times and the number appearing each time as follows.

$$\begin{gathered} 13566354162534 \\ 6155611223524 \\ 5565162332515 \end{gathered}$$

Answer 1

Tally marks are an easy and exciting way to tabulate the data.

Here one entity is taken as $I$

two entities are taken as $II$ and so on

five entities are taken as $\cancel{IIII}$

Given data:

$$\begin{gathered} 13566354162534 \\ 6155611223524 \\ 5565162332515 \end{gathered}$$

Tally marks:

Number of the dice	Tally marks	Frequency
$1$	$\cancel{IIII}$$II$	$7$
$2$	$\cancel{IIII}$$I$	$6$
$3$	$\cancel{IIII}$$I$	$6$
$4$	$III$	$3$
$5$	$\cancel{IIII}$$\cancel{IIII}$$I$	$11$
$6$	$\cancel{IIII}$$II$	$7$
Total		$40$

For filling the second column start counting the number of times the corresponding entity can be seen in the given data. The total frequency must be equal to the number of times the dice were rolled.
