11. What kinds of diagrams are more effective in representing the following?
(i) Monthly rainfall in a year
(ii) Composition of the population of Delhi by religion
(iii) Components of cost in a factory

Answer

(i) Monthly rainfall in a year – simple bar diagram as only one variable i.e. monthly rainfall is to be present and compared visually.

(ii) Composition of the population of Delhi by religion – Simple bar diagram Plotting different religion on the x-axis and the number of people on the y-axis, one can easily compare the number of the population religion-wise.

(iii) Components of cost in a factory – Pie chart as entire circle represents the total cost and various components of costsare shown by different portions of the circle.

12. Suppose you want to emphasise the increase in the share of urban non-workers and lower level of urbanisation in India as shown in Example 4.2. How would you do it in the tabular form?

Answer

Urban non workersRural Non WorkersTotal Non workers
19 crores42 crores62 crores

The number of rural non-workers is greater than urban non-workers. The higher number of rural non-workers indicates lower level of urbanisation in India according to 2001 Census data.

13. How does the procedure of drawing a histogram differ when class intervals are unequal in comparison to equal class intervals in a frequency table?

Answer

When the class intervals are equal then by normal method we can make histogram which has equal width of rectangle. When the class intervals are unequal, heights of rectangles are to be adjusted to yield comparable measurements by using frequency density (class frequency divided by width of the class interval) instead of absolute frequency.

(i) Present the data in tabular form.
(ii) Suppose you were to present these data in diagrammatic form which of the diagrams would you use and why?
(iii) Present these data diagrammatically.

Sugar Production in India
DateTotal Production (tonnes)Internal Consumption (tonnes)Export of sugar (tonnes)
December, 20003,78,0001,54,000
December, 20003,27,0002,83,00041,000

(ii) To present these data in diagrammatic form we can use multiple bar diagram because these are effective in comparing two or more sets of data.
