Question

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

The provided data set represents the type of movie liked by different numbers of people.

The horizontal axis represents the type of movie and the vertical axis represents the number of people.


Step 1 : Decide the vertical axis scale depending on the maximum and minimum value of the number of people column.

Here, the minimum is 15 and the maximum is 48.

$\therefore$ The vertical axis scale may start from 0 unit to 50 units with an interval of 10 units.

Step 2 : For SciFi type of movie, plot rectangle of height 22.
We know 20 < 22 < 25.
$\therefore$ 22 must lie between 20 and midway of 20 and 30, i.e., 25.

Step 3 : Similarly, 30, 15 and 48 can be plotted with an approximation.
