Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Mathematics Grade 7 Self-Learning Module on Bar Graph and

Histogram!
This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and
reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims
to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the self-learning module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
self-learning module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while
allowing them to manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in this self-
learning module.
 For the Learner:

LESSON

In this self-learning module, we will focus on Bar Graph and Histogram.

A bar graph is a graph which uses horizontal or vertical bars to represent

data. When a bar graph has bars which extend from left to right, it is called a
horizontal bar graph. On the other hand, if the bars extend from bottom to top, it is
called a vertical bar graph.
The following are the steps in constructing a bar graph:

1. Decide on what scale to use by choosing appropriate numbers of convenient

size.
For example, for numbers:

• Up to 100, use 10 for each space.

• Up to 1 000, use 100 for each space.

• Up to 10 000, use 1 000 for each space.

2. Write the scale numbers at the left side when using a vertical bar graph and
write the scale numbers underneath the horizontal line when using a
horizontal bar graph.
3. Write what the scale numbers represent.

4. Label what each bar represents.

5. Write the number that each bar represents.

6. Write the title above the bar graph.

7. If the bar graph requires ordering, the most common order is one in which
the bar lengths either increase or decrease.
Example 1:

In a company of 400 employees, the percentage of monthly salary save by

each employee is given in the following table. Represent it through a bar graph.

Savings (in percent) Number of employees

20 105

30 199

40 29

50 73

HISTOGRAM

HISTOGRAM is a plot that lets you discover, and show, the underlying frequency
distribution (shape) of a set of continuous data. This is constructed based from the
frequency distribution table.

Example:

Raw Data:

Ages 36 25 38 46 55 68 72 55 36 38

67 45 22 48 91 46 52 61 58 55

To construct a histogram from a continuous variable you need to split the

data into intervals, called bins. In the example, age has been split into bins with
each bin representing a 10-year period starting at 20 years. Each bin contains the
number of occurrences of scores in the data set that are contained within that bin.
For the above data set, the frequencies in each bin have been tabulated along with
the scores that contributed to the frequency in each bin (see below):

Bin Frequency Scores included in Bin

20 - 30 2 25, 22

30 - 40 4 36, 38, 36, 38

40 - 50 4 46, 45, 48, 46

50 - 60 5 55, 55, 52, 58, 55

 60 - 70 3 68, 67, 61

70 -80 1 72

80 -90 0

90 - 100 1 91

Histogram

In Histogram, there are no “gaps” between the bars. This is because the
histogram represents a continuous data set, and as such, there are no gaps in the
data. So, what is the difference between histogram and bar graph? The major
difference is that the histogram is only used to plot the frequency of score
occurrences in a continuous data set that has been divided into classes, called
bins. Bar graph on the other hand, can be used for other types of variable including
ordinal and nominal data sets.

ACTIVITY 3: TEST YOURSELF!

Direction: Consider the following problem and answer the questions that follow.
 Jeff is the branch manager of a local bank. Recently, Jeff’s been receiving
customer feedback saying that the wait time for a client to be served by a customer
service representative is too long. Jeff decides to observe and write the time spent
by each customer on waiting. Here are his findings from observing the wait times
spent by 20 customers

Customer wait time in seconds (n = 20)

43.1 35.6 37.6 36.5 45.3

43.5 42.2 45.5 30.3 31.4

35.6 45.2 40.3 50.2 47.3

31.2 54.1 45.6 36.5 43.1

Answer the following questions using the histogram above.

1. How many customers are waiting between 1 and 35 seconds?

2. How many customers are waiting between 1 and 40 seconds?

3. What is the shortest waiting time of the customers in the bank?

4. What is the estimated average waiting time of each customer in the bank?

5. What is the maximum waiting time of each customer in the bank?

 WRAP-UP

A bar graph can be simple or multiple. A simple bar graph is one in which
the bars represent only one unit. A multiple bar graph is one where different units
are used on the same diagram for comparison purposes.

A histogram is used to summarize discrete or continuous data. It provides a

visual interpretation of numerical data by showing the number of data points that
fall within a specified range of values (called “bins”). It is similar to a vertical bar
graph but it shows no gaps between the bars.

VALUING
REFLECTION: (Journal Writing)

Make a reflection or journal on how you can apply your knowledge in

constructing bar graph and histogram in your daily life as a student. Give a
particular example of it.

POSTTEST
Directions: Use the bar graph to answer each question. Write the letter of the
correct answer in your notebook.
