Objectives:

After going through this LAS, you are expected to:

1. collect data on one or two variables using any source;
2. organize data in tabular form and presents them in a line graph;
3. interpret data presented in a single- and double-line graph; and
4. construct a line graph and finds the average of data presented in a line graph.

Lesson

Lesson 6.1. Collecting Data on One or Two Variables Using

Any Source
Read and analyze the situation below.

The Pupil Government of Aurora Elementary School has earned enough proceeds to put up
a new sports center in their school. This is the reason why they surveyed the favorite sport
of their fellow pupils. Below are the results of the survey. Let us make a tally and organize
the data using a tabular form.
Note: The respondents used the following code:

1
A. Basketball B. Volleyball C. Swimming D. Badminton E. Sepak Takraw

A C B D E A B A
C D E A C D E A
D E A B C C A C
D E A A B B C C
A B B C D D E E
C D E A A B C B
D C C B A B D A
A A E E B C D C
E D C E A B B E
A B B C D E A E

Solution:
A. Basketball------------ IIII-IIII-IIII-IIII
B. Volleyball------------- IIII-IIII-IIII-I
C. Swimming------------ IIII-IIII-IIII-II
D. Badminton----------- IIII-IIII-III
E. Sepak Takraw------ IIII-IIII-IIII

The data in this example was collected through a survey. Surveys may be done by giving out
survey questionnaires in person or through emails, or interviews through the telephone or in
person.
Collection of Data may be done in a lot of ways such as survey, interview, or through
observations.

Lesson 6.2. Organizing Data in Tabular Form and Presents

them in a Line Graph

After the data has been collected, we must organize the data so that presentation,
interpretation, and analysis will be easy. Organizing data in a tabular form is one of the ways
to interpret data in one to two variables.
Aurora Elementary School Pupil’s Favorite Sports
Sport Tally Frequency
A. Basketball IIII-IIII-IIII-IIII 19
B. Volleyball IIII-IIII-IIII-I 16
C. Swimming IIII-IIII-IIII-II 17
D. Badminton IIII-IIII-III 13
E. Sepak Takraw IIII-IIII-IIII 15
(taken from the introduction of lesson 1.1)

When organizing data using tables, it is important to properly label the rows and columns and
include a title that briefly describes the data in the table.

Now, let us present the data in a line graph.

1. Which sport has the most number of votes?

2. Which sport has the least number of votes?
3. How many people voted for swimming?
4. Which sport has 15 votes?
5. Which sports have the same number of votes?

Data gathered and organized can be presented using graphs. One of these is a line graph.
The Line graph is a graph that uses lines to join points that represent a data set. It has a
vertical line called the y-axis which contains the first variable in the collected data. As we go
up through the y-axis, increasing values must be presented. It may represent almost any type
of numerical data such as pesos, scores, the number of people, temperature, grades, etc. The
horizontal line axis called the x-axis in the line graph contains the second variable that relates
to the first variable in the collected data. As we go to the right in the x-axis, increasing values
must be presented.

Lesson 1.3: Interpreting Data Presented in a Single- and

Double-Line Graph

In a line graph, a line that goes up means an increase, and a line that goes down means a
decrease. The increase and decrease on the line graph can be used to determine the change
in a quantity over a period of time.

Example 1:
Mrs. Samonte keeps a record of the monthly income of her fruit stand so she can see what
she earns each month. Find out if the earnings of the fruit stand increased or decreased from
January to December in the form of a line graph.

Months

The graph above shows the monthly income of Mrs. Samonte’s fruit stand from January to
December.
From the graph, we can see that there is an increase and decrease in income:
a. It increased from January to February, from March to June, and from July to December.
b. It decreased from June to July.
In which months were the earnings the same?
It earned the same in the following months:
a. February and March
b. April and July
c. May and August
d. June and September

Mrs. Mariano earned the most in December and the least in January.

1. What is the title of the graph?

2. What is being compared in the graph?
3. In which day/s were Megan’s expenses greater than Ana’s?
4. On which day/s were Ana’s expenses less than Megan’s?
5. What is the difference between their expenses on Wednesday?
6. Who has fewer expenses between the two? Explain your reasoning.

Lesson 6.4. Constructing a Line Graph and Finds the Average

of Data Presented in a Line Graph

In constructing a line graph, we follow these steps:

1. Draw the lines for the x-axis and the y-axis.
2. Use the data from the table to label the axes.
3. Plot the points that correspond to each variable in the table.
4. Connect the points with a line segment.
5. Put a title on the graph.

Use the data in the table to construct a line graph:
Enrolment of Aurora Elementary School for school year 2020-2021.

Name of Grade
Enrolment
Level
Kindergarten 11
Grade 1 10
Grade 2 15
Grade 3 16
Grade 4 13
Grade 5 7
Grade 6 6
Procedure:
1. Draw the lines for the x-axis and the y-axis.
2. Label the x-axis with the name of grade level following the proper order from
kindergarten to Grade 6. For the enrolment, use 2 intervals, label the y-axis from 5-
20.
3. Plot the points that correspond to the name of Grade level and enrolment.
4. Connect the consecutive points by a line segment.
5. Put a title on the graph.

How do we find the average of the data in this line graph?

To find the average of data in a line graph, add the data and divide the sum by the number
of data.
11+10+15+16+13+7+6= 78
78÷7= 11.14
Answer: The average enrolment of Aurora Elementary School for the school year 2020-2021
is 11.14.
