Question

Study the bar graph given below and answer the questions that follow.

1. What information does the above bar graph represent?
2. In which year was production the least?
3. After which year was the maximum rise in the production?
4. Find the average production of rice during the 5 years.
5. Find difference of rice production between years 2006 and 2008.

Answer 1

After studying the bar graph, we have

Production of rice in 2005 = 50 million tonne

Production of rice in 2006 = 40 million tonne

Production of rice in 2007 = 70 million tonne

Production of rice in 2008 = 50 million tonne

Production of rice in 2009 = 60 million tonne

a. The bar graph shows the production of rice in million tonne by a country during years 2005 to 2009.

b. The production of rice was the least in 2006, i.e. 40 million tonne.

c. The maximum production of rice was in 2007. The production rose after 2006.

d. For average production,

Sum of productions = 50 + 40 + 70 + 50 + 60 = 270

Average production = `"Sum of observations"/"Number of observations"`

Average production = `270/5` = 54 million tonne.

e. Production in 2006 = 40 million tonne and production in 2008 = 50 million tonne

Difference = 50 – 40 = 10 million tonne.
