Presentation of Data (Bar Graph)
2. BAR GRAPH
pictorial representation of statistical data in such a
way that length of the rectangles in the graph
represents the proportional value of the variable.
are generally used to compare the values of several
variables at a time and to analyze data.
The length of the bars (horizontal or vertical)
represents the frequency of the variable and is
applicable to discrete values only.
Bar graphs can be vertical or horizontal.
Types of Bar Graphs 1. What is the title of this bar graph?
1. Single Bar Graph – used to represent discrete value 2. What is the range of values on the (horizontal)
of each variable drawn in opposite axis. scale?
3. How many categories are in the graph?
4. Which after-school activity do students like most?
5. Which after-school activity do students like least?
6. How many students like to talk on the phone?
7. How many students like to earn money?
8. Which two activities are liked almost equally?
2. Grouped Bar Graph – represent values of more
than one variable in the very same category. 9. List the categories in the graph from greatest to
Rectangular bars are stacked side by side and they least.
are color coded to distinguish themeselves.

evenly on one axis.
4. The height of the bars corresponds to the
frequency of the data.
