Question

The number of customers who came to a juice centre during one week is given in the table below. Make two different bar graphs to show this data. (Scale : on Y - axis, 1cm = 10 customers, on Y - axis, 1cm = 5 customers)

Type of juice	Orange	Pineapple	Apple	Mango	Pomegranate
No. of Customers	50	30	25	65	10

Answer 1

Steps to draw the bar graph:

(1) In the centre of the graph paper, write the title "Juices and number of customers".

(2) Draw the X-axis and Y-axis, and mark O, their point of intersection.

(3) Write the name of the juices on the X-axis at equal distances.

(4) The number of customers is taken on the Y-axis.

(5) For the first bar graph, write the scale in the top right hand corner i.e. 1 cm = 10 customers on the Y-axis.

For the second bar graph, write the scale in the top right hand corner i.e. 1 cm = 5 customers on the Y-axis.

(6) Draw a bar of the appropriate height above the type of each juice on the X-axis.
