TABLES
A table is one of the easiest way for summarising data.
A statistical table is the logical listing of related quantitative data
in vertical columns and horizontal rows of numbers with sufficient
explanatory and qualifying words, phrases and statements in the
form of titles, heading and notes to make clear the meaning of
data.

Sum of all items

Average =
Total number of items

l = The bars are drawn proportional in length to the total

and then divided in the ratios of their components.

GRAPHS
Graphs are a convenient way to represent information. The graphs
should be labelled properly to show what part of the graphs
shows what a value.
1.
Bar Graph - Bar diagram consists of a number of
equidistant rectangles. One for each category of the data
in which the magnitudes are represented by the length or

2.

height of rectangle, whereas width of rectangles are

immaterial. Thus, a bar is just one dimensional as only the
length of the bar is to be considered and not the width. All
the bars drawn in a diagram are generally of uniform width
which depends on the number of bars to be constructed
and the availability of the space.
Types of Bar Graphs are
(i) Simple Bar Graph : It is used to represent only one
dependent variable.
(ii) Sub-divided Bar Graphs : These are used to represent
the break down of a total into its component bars. A
bar is divided into different segments, each segment
respresents a given component. Different shades,
colours, designs etc. are used to distinguish the
various components. An index is given to represent
the various components. To compare, the order of
various components in the different bars is same.
(iii) Multiple Bar Graph (MBG) : When a combination
of inter-related variables are to be represented
graphically, multiple bar diagrams are used. These
are extended form of simple bar diagrams. In M.B.G.
many aspects of the data are presented
simultaneously with separated bars or various shades
of colours. An index is given to explain the shades or
colours used.
Line Graph(LG) : LG are used to show how a quantity
changes, very often the quantity is measured as time
changes. If the line goes up, the quantity is increasing
and the line goes down, the quantity is decreasing. If the
line is horizontal, the quantity is not changing.
Pie Graph(PG) : is a pictorial representation of numerical
data by non-intersecting adjacent sectors of a circle sectors
area of each sector is proportional to the magnitude of the
data represented by the sector.

(b) Production of company AVC in 2000 =360 crore units

Average production of AVC over the given years
300 + 300 + 300 + 360 + 370 + 340 1970
=
=
6
6
360 6
100
Hence, required per cent =
1970
= 109.64% 110%
(c) Approximate per cent increase or decrease in
production from the previous year for SIO are as
follows:
2
1998 = 100 = 2.35%
85
2 100
1999 =
= 2.29%

1 100
2001 =
=1.09%
91
4 100
2002 =
=4.35%
92
You can solve it with simple rough work. See the
difference of produced units between two consecutive
years. The difference is maximum for 2001 to 2002, and
production during all these years is almost same.
Hence, in the year 2002 SIO registered maximum
increase in production over the previous year.
(d) Sum of the productions of the companies in first three
years and the last three years in ` crore is as follows:

(c) Total production of the six companies in first two given

years = 863 + 927 = 1790
Again, total production of the six companies in last
two given years = 989 + 991 =1980
1790 100
= 90.40%
Therefore, required per cent =
1980
