Course 2

Hundreds of different languages are spoken around the world. The graph shows the numbers of native speakers of four languages.
A bar graph can be used to display and compare data. The scale of a bar graph should include all the data values and be easily divided into equal intervals.
Course 2

Additional Example 1A: Interpreting a Bar Graph Use the bar graph to answer the question. A. Which language has the fewest native speakers? The bar for Spanish is the shortest, so Spanish has the fewest native speakers.
Course 2

Additional Example 1B: Interpreting a Bar Graph Use the bar graph to answer the question. B. About how many more people speak Hindi than Spanish? About 50 million more people speak Hindi than speak Spanish.
Course 2

Try This: Example 1A Use the bar graph to answer the question. A. Which fruit was eaten the most? The bar for bananas is the longest, so bananas were eaten the most.
Course 2

Try This: Example 1B Use the bar graph to answer the question. B. About how many more pounds of apples than pounds of grapes were eaten per person? About 10 pounds more apples were eaten than grapes per person.
Course 2

You can use a double-bar graph to compare two related sets of data.

A histogram is a bar graph that shows the frequency of data within equal intervals. There is no space between the bars in a histogram.
Course 2

Additional Example 3: Making a Histogram
The table below shows the number of hours students watch TV in one week. Make a histogram of the data. Step 1: Make a frequency table of the data. Be sure to use equal intervals.
Number of Hours of TV Frequency
Number of Hours of TV 1 2 3 4 5 // //// //// //// //// / //// ///
13 46 79
Course 2
15
17 17
6 7 8 9
/// //// //// /// ////

Step 2: Choose an appropriate scale and interval for the vertical axis. The greatest value on the scale should be at least 20 as great as the greatest frequency. 16

Step 3: Draw a bar graph for each interval. The height of the bar is the frequency for that interval. Bars must touch but 20 not overlap.
