Question

The runs scored by a cricket team in first 15 overs are given below:

Overs:	I	II	III	IV	V	VI	VII	VIII	IX	X	XI	XII	XIII	XIV	XV
Runs:	2	1	4	2	6	8	10	21	5	8	3	2	6	8	12

Draw the graph representing the above data in two different ways as a graph and as a bar chart.

Answer in Brief

Solution

Here, over is an independent variable and run is a dependent variable. So, we take overs on the x-axis and runs the on y-axis.
Let us choose the following scale:
On x-axis: 1 cm = 1 over
On y-axis: 1 cm = 2 runs
Now, let us plot (I,2), (II,1), (III,4),...,(XV,12). These points are joined to get the graph representing the given information as shown in the figure below.
