Steps to draw a bar graph:

1. To draw a bar graph, you to start with your frequency table.

2. From the frequency table, decide on
Favorite Fruit the range and scale of the frequency
data axis (vertical axis) and the
50 grouped data axis (horizontal axis)

40 3. Draw the vertical and horizontal axes
35 and label them.

5. Mark the data on the graph for each
15 data group and draw the bar.

 BAR GRAPH . It is a graph

which uses horizontal or vertical bars to represent data. It is a visual display used to compare the frequency
of occurrences of different characteristics of data. This type of graph allows us to compare groups of data and
make quick generalization about the data by examining the length of the bars. Since only the lengths of the
bars are important, the widths are all made equal. A gap between the bars is spaced equally.
