# RS Aggarwal Class 6 Solutions Data Handling

In this chapter, the students of class 6 will be taught about data. What is data and how to organize data, collect data and represent data on a bar graph or in a pictograph. Learn the concepts of data handling by solving the questions from RS Aggarwal for class 6. For solutions to the questions, students are advised to refer RS Aggarwal class 6 solutions chapter 22 data handling.

## Exercise 22

Q1) Define the terms:

(i) Data (ii) Raw Data (iii) Array

(iv) Tabulation of data (v) Observations

(vi) Frequency of an observation (vii) Statistics

Ans. 1)

(i) Data: It refers to the information in the form of numerical figures.

The marks obtained by 5 students of a class in a unit test are 34, 45, 65, 67, 87.

We call it the data related to the marks obtained by 5 students of a class in a unit test.

(ii) Raw Data: Data obtained in the original form is called raw data.

(iii) Arrray: Arranging the numerical figures in an ascending or a descending order is called an array.

(iv) Tabulation of data: Arranging the data in a systematic form in the form of a table is called tabulation or presentation of the data.

(v) Observations: Each numerical figure in a data is called an observation

(vi) Frequency of an observation: The number of times a particular observation occurs is called its frequency.

(vii) Statistics: It is the science that deals with the collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data.
