उत्तर
a. In order to construct a bar graph representing the above data, we follow the following steps:
Step I: Take a graph paper and draw two mutually perpendicular lines OX and OY. Call OX as the horizontal axis and OY as the vertical axis.
Step II: Along OX, mark days and along OY, mark number of mobile phone sets sold.
Step III: Along OX, choose the uniform (equal) width of the bars and the uniform gap between them, according to the space available for the graph,
Step IV: Choose a suitable scale to determine the heights of the bars, according to the availability of space. Here, we choose 1 small division to represent 5 mobile sets.
b. It is clear from graph that on Saturday the sales was maximum.
c. Total sale during the week = Sum of all the sales on each day
= 50 + 45 + 30 + 55 + 27 + 60
= 267
d. Minimum sale on Friday = 27
Maximum sale on Saturday = 60
∴ Required ratio = 27 : 60 = 9 : 20
e. Average sale = `"Total sale"/6`
= `267/6`
= 44.5
f. On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, i.e. 4 days the sale was above the average sale.
