CH: DATA HANDLING - WORKSHEET

BASIC CONCEPTS
Data handling means to collect and present the data so that it could be used in further studies and
to find some results.
Data: Any information collected in the form of numbers, words, measurements, symbols, or in any
other form is called data.
Graphical Representation of Data: The grouped data can be represented graphically for its clear
picture and it is the easiest way to understand the data.
Bar Graphs: In it, the information represented by the bars of the same width with equal gaps but
the height of the bars represents the respective values.
Circle Graph or Pie Chart: If we represent the data in a circle form then it is said to be a pie chart.
This graph shows the relationship between the whole and its part. We have to divide the circle into
sectors and each sector is proportional to its respective activity. We use it when we have
information on percentage or fraction.
Chance and Probability

Probability tells the degree of uncertainty. It measures the likelihood that an event will occur.
Random Experiment: If the result of the experiment is not known then it is known as a random
experiment.
Outcomes: When we do an experiment then there could be different results, these possible results
of the random experiment are called outcomes.
Example: There are two possible outcomes when we toss a coin i.e. head and tail.
Equally Likely Outcomes: If every outcome has the same possibility of occurring these outcomes
are called Equally Likely Outcomes.
Example: If we throw a dice then there is an equal chance of every no. to come while doing the
random experiment. i.e. a dice has the same possibility of getting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

4. If two unbiased dice are rolled together, then calculate the probability of getting same number on both
the dice

5. A bag contains 15 Red, 20 Yellow and 5 Green balls. Calculate the probability of getting
a. Red ball c. A yellow ball
b. Green ball d. A Red or a Green ball

6. If two coins are tossed together, then calculate the probability of getting
a. At least 1 head b. Atmost 1 head
7. If one letter is chosen at random from the word ‘MATHEMATICS’, what is the probability of the letter
chosen being a vowel?

8. Represent the following data as a bar graph.
