    This document discusses bar graphs, which use rectangular bars to visually represent grouped data. It defines bar graphs and explains that they can be vertical or horizontal. Vertical bar graphs display data on the y-axis with bar height representing values, while horizontal bar graphs use the x-axis with bar length denoting values. The document lists key properties of bar graphs and provides steps for constructing a sample bar graph to depict numbers of different pet types.

    DATA: The collection of information is called data.

    BAR GRAPH:
    The pictorial representations of grouped data, in the form of vertical or horizontal
    rectangular bars, where the lengths of the bars are equivalent to the measure of data, are
    known as bar graphs or bar charts.
    The bars drawn are of uniform width, and the variable quantity is represented on one of the
    axes. Also, the measure of the variable is depicted on the other axes. The heights or the
    lengths of the bars denote the value of the variable, and these graphs are also used to
    compare certain quantities. The frequency distribution tables can be easily represented
    using bar charts which simplify the calculations and understanding of data.
    The three major attributes of bar graphs are:

     The bar graph helps to compare the different sets of data among different groups
    easily.
     It shows the relationship using two axes, in which the categories on one axis and the
    discrete values on the other axis.
     The graph shows the major changes in data over time.

    The types of bar charts are as follows:

    1. Vertical bar chart

    2. Horizontal bar chart

    Vertical Bar Graphs


    When the grouped data are represented vertically in a graph or chart with the help of bars,
    where the bars denote the measure of data, such graphs are called vertical bar graphs. The
    data is represented along the y-axis of the graph, and the height of the bars shows the
    values.

    Horizontal Bar Graphs

    When the grouped data are represented horizontally in a chart with the help of bars, then
    such graphs are called horizontal bar graphs, where the bars show the measure of data.
    The data is depicted here along the x-axis of the graph, and the length of the bars denotes
    the values.
    PROPERTIES OF BAR GRAPH
    Some of the important properties of a bar graph are as follows:
     All the bars should have a common base.
     Each column in the bar graph should have equal width.
     The height of the bar should correspond to the data value.
     The distance between each bar should be the same.

    HOW TO DRAW A BAR GRAPH?


    Let us consider an example, we have four different types of pets, such as cat, dog, rabbit,
    and hamster and the corresponding numbers are 22, 39, 5 and 9 respectively.
    In order to visually represent the data using the bar graph, we need to follow the steps
    given below.

     Step 1: First, decide the title of the bar graph.


     Step 2: Draw the horizontal axis and vertical axis. (For example, Types of Pets)
     Step 3: Now, label the horizontal axis.
     Step 4: Write the names on the horizontal axis, such as Cat, Dog, Rabbit, Hamster.
     Step 5: Now, label the vertical axis. (For example, Number of Pets)
     Step 6: Finalise the scale range for the given data.
     Step 7: Finally, draw the bar graph that should represent each category of the pet
    with their respective numbers.
