The above bar graph gives information about wheat sold by industry in the year 1998 to 2002. In the bar graph, the horizontal line represents the year and the vertical line represents wheat sold in thousand tonnes and 1unit = 5000 tonnes. It is clear from the graph the wheat sold is maximum in the year 2002 and the amount is 30 units = 30\times5=150\ thousand\ tonnes=150,000\ tonnes. Similarly, we can calculate the amount of wheat sold in another year also. The minimum amount is sold in the year 1998.

Scaling factor: for example 1 cm = 100 People

Data: Data is a collection of numbers gathered to provide information.

Frequency: In data representation, frequency refers to the number of times a particular value or category occurs. It is determined by counting the tally marks in the respective category.

Frequency Table: A frequency table is a tabular representation that shows the frequency of each value or category in the data set. It consists of two columns: one for the values or categories and another for their corresponding frequencies.

Interpretation: By organizing data using tally marks and frequency tables, we can quickly interpret and analyze the information. This helps in making comparisons, identifying patterns, and drawing conclusions from the data.
