Objectives:
1. Collects data on two variables using any source.
2. Organizes data in tabular form and presents them in a single/double horizontal or vertical
bar graph.
Category data are described in words such as “favorite colors” or “favorite food.” Discrete data are
described using numbers such as “number of marbles” or “quiz scores.”
Characteristics of interest such as “favorite subjects” or “quiz scores” are called statistical variables.
Some survey questions that may be used in statistical investigations are given below. They may yield
answers that are easy to manage.
1. What subject is the most favorite?
2. Which day of the week is the warmest?
The data that Jeremy gathered is a list of temperature readings each day at noontime in his
classroom from Monday to Friday.
If you analyze the data, you can conclude that Monday has the warmest temperature and Friday has
the lowest temperature.
Tables, tally charts, or frequency tables may be used to organize and display data. Tallies are
counted to find the total number of times a number occurs.
Example: John examined his 10 quiz scores in Math, as shown in the table below.
8 10 9 7 5 6 8 10 8 7
He organized his scores into a tally chart and frequency table, as shown below.

When the data that you have collected are discrete or of category type you may display them using
bar graphs. It is easier to look for patterns and trends when the data presented in this manner.
A bar graph is a chart with rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the value that they represent.
It shows the differences in the elements clearly but tells us less about the range and variations of
individual results than a line graph.
Example:
Five teams of a Grade 4 class collected empty cans and plastic bottles for recycling.
The record shows their collection.
Maganda – 60 kg Masaya – 60 kg Matiyaga – 85 kg
Masipag – 73 kg Masinop – 73 kg

It is easy to see from the length of the bars that Matiyaga team collected the greatest amount of used
empty cans and plastic bottles.
A double-bar graph is used when you want to show or compare more than one kind of information,
situation, or event. Hence, two or more bars are used to present the data.
The scores of two quizzes of 6 pupils are shown on the chart. The vertical double-ba graph below
presents the data in a different way.
