Question

The following table shows the number of scooters produced by a company during six consecutive years. Draw a bar graph to represent this data.

Year	2011	2012	2013	2014	2015	2016
No. of scooters	11000	14000	12500	17500	15000	24000

Answer 1

We can draw the bar graph by following the given steps:-
Step 1.- On a graph paper, draw a horizontal line OX as x-axis and vertical line OY as y-axis.

Step 2.- Along OX, write the years at the points that are taken at a uniform gap.

Step 3.- Choose the scale:
1 big division = 2000 scooters
1 small division = 200 scooters

Step 4.- Heights of the various bars:
2011 = 55 small divisions = 5 big divisions and 5 small divisions
2012 = 70 small divisions = 7 big divisions
2013 = 62.5 small divisions = 6 big divisions 2.5 small divisions
2014 = 87.5 small divisions = 8 big divisions and 7.5 small divisions
2015 = 75 small divisions = 7 big divisions and 5 small divisions
2016 = 120 small divisions = 12 big divisions

Step 5.- Draw bars of equal width on the x-axis. The difference between the two bars should also be the same.

We get the following bar graph:
