    STATISTICS – DIAGRAMS

    DIAGRAMMATIC REPRESENTATION
    Introduction
    The data can be represented by rectangular bars when it is presented in a bar diagrammatic
    format. The value or frequency of the variable can be determined from the height of the bars.
    Each of the rectangular bars ought to have the same width. This is one of the most used tools
    for making comparisons between the data sets. Some of the ways to represent the data are
    • Simple Bar Diagram
    • Multiple Bar Diagram
    • Sub-divided Bar Diagram (Compounded)
    • Percentage Bar Diagram
    Example 1: In a firm of 400 employees, the percentage of monthly salary saved by each
    employee is given in the following table. Represent it through a simple bar graph.

    Savings (in percentage) Number of Employees (Frequency)

    20 105

    30 199

    40 29

    50 73

    Total 400
    Solution: (Simple bar diagram)

    Example 2: A cosmetic company manufactures 4 different shades of lipstick. The sale for 6
    months is shown in the table. Represent it by using multiple bar diagram.

    Month Sales (in units)

    Shade 1 Shade 2 Shade 3 Shade 4

    January 4500 1600 4400 3245

    February 2870 5645 5675 6754

    March 3985 8900 9768 7786

    April 6855 8976 9008 8965

    May 3200 5678 5643 7865

    June 3456 4555 2233 6547


    Solution: (Multiple bar diagram)

    Example 3: Draw a sub-divided bar diagram from the following data

    Number of students
    Stream
    2009 2010 2011

    Arts 50 70 75

    Science 200 250 300

    Commerce 100 120 130

    Solution: (Sub-divided bar diagram)


    Example 4: Present the following data by a percentage sub-divided bar diagram.

    Solution: (Percentage bar

    ADVANTAGES OF DIAGRAMMATIC REPRESENTATION

    to comprehend the facts that lie behind the data that is being provided.

    both extended unstable data and small complicated data complex—can be simplified
    exponentially with the use of diagrams.
    • Comparison operations are more interactive - Diagrams applied when representing
    datasets that need a comparison of their elements. Not only is the presentation appealing
    to the eye, but it is also perfectly suited for contrasting two sets of statistical data.

    professional discipline across the globe, including but not limited to economics,
