Data Handling - Short Notes

1 Understanding Data Handling

• Data refers to collected information that helps in decision-making.
• Examples of data collection:
– Runs scored by a batsman in different matches.
– Number of books read by students in a month.
– Daily temperature recordings in a city.

2 Different Types of Graphs for Data Represen-

tation
2.1 Pictograph
• A pictorial representation of data using symbols.

• Each symbol represents a specific quantity.

Example: A factory produces cars in different months:

Month Cars Produced
July 250
August 300
Key Points to Remember:
• Useful for younger students.
• Easy to understand but not precise for large data sets.

2.2 Bar Graph

• Represents data using bars of uniform width.
• The height of the bar corresponds to the value of the data.

1
 Example: The number of students in a school over the years:
Year Number of Students
2019 500
2020 700
2021 900
2022 1100

2.3 Double Bar Graph

• A bar graph that compares two sets of data side by side.
• Useful for comparisons (e.g., students’ marks in two subjects).

Example: Comparison of Math and Science scores of students in different

years:
Year Math Scores Science Scores
2019 78 65
2020 82 70
2021 85 72
2022 88 75

2.4 Pie Chart (Circle Graph)

• Represents data as a circle divided into sectors.
• Each sector’s angle is proportional to the data it represents.

Example: A family’s monthly expenses (in percentage):

Category Percentage
Food 40%
Rent 20%
Education 15%
Savings 15%
Others 10%
Key Points to Remember:
• Represents data as a whole.
• Sectors’ angles are calculated as:
Category Value
Angle = × 360◦
Total Value

3 Probability and Data Handling

Probability refers to the chance of an event happening:
Favorable Outcomes
P (E) =
Total Outcomes

2
3.1 Example 1: Tossing a Coin
Find the probability of getting a Head.
• Total possible outcomes: {Head, Tail} (2 outcomes).

• Favorable outcome: {Head} (1 outcome).

• Probability: P (H) = 1
2

3.2 Example 2: Rolling a Die

Find the probability of rolling a 4 on a fair six-sided die.
• Total possible outcomes: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} (6 outcomes).
• Favorable outcome: {4} (1 outcome).
• Probability: P (4) = 1
6

4 Key Points to Remember While Solving Data

Handling Problems
• Always organize data properly before representing it in graphs.
• Bar graphs and pictographs are useful for comparison.

• Pie charts help visualize percentages and proportions.

• Probability is always between 0 and 1 (0 means impossible, 1 means cer-
tain).
• Sum of all probabilities in an experiment = 1.

Ans: (i) z = 80° (corresponding angle) z = y = 80° (alternate angles) x + y = 180° (adjacent
angles)
⇒ x + 80° = 180° ⇒ x = 180° – 80° = 100°
(ii) y = 112°, z + 40° + 112° = 180° (adjacent angles)
⇒ z+ 152° = 180°
⇒ z = 180° - 152° = 28° ⇒ x = z = 28°

15. Simplify and solve the following linear equations:
15(y – 4) –2(y – 9) + 5(y + 6) = 0
Ans: 15(y – 4) –2(y – 9) + 5(y + 6) = 0
⇒ 15y – 60 -2y + 18 + 5y + 30 = 0
⇒ 15y – 2y + 5y = 60 – 18 – 30
⇒ 18y = 12
⇒ y = 12/18
⇒ y = 2/3

SECTION – C
Questions 10 to 13 carry 3 marks each.

10. The following pie chart depicts the expenditure of a state government under different heads.
(a) If the total spending is 10 crores, how much money was spent on roads?
(b) How many times is the amount of money spent on education compared to the amount spent
on roads?
(c) What fraction of the total expenditure is spent on both roads and public welfare together?

Ans: (a) Money spent on roads = 10% of 10 crores

= 10/100 × 10 crores = 1 crore
(b) Money spent on education = 25% of 10 crores
= 25000000
Money spent on road = 10000000
⇒ 25000000/10000000 = 2.5 times
(c) Total expenditure = 100000000
Money spent on both roads and public welfare = 10% + 20% = 30%
So, fraction = 3 crores/10 crores = 3/10

11. A pie diagram of the marks secured by a student in Maths, English, Physics and Chemistry is
shown here. Read the graph and find the marks in Chemistry secured by the student.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 2 -

 Ans: Let the angle of the sector representing the marks in Chemistry be x in degrees.
Then, 100° + 75° + 100° + x = 360°,
⇒ 275° + x = 360° ⇒ x = 360° – 275° = 85°
Now, A sector of 100° represents 80 marks (Maths)
80
∴ A sector of 1° represents marks
100
80
∴ A sector of 85° represents  85 = 68 marks
100
Hence, marks obtained in Chemistry = 68.
12. Instead of numbers, the letters in the word CHANCE were stuck on a die. Find the probability
of rolling: (i) letter H (ii) a vowel (iii) a consonant
Ans: Total number of possible outcomes = 6 (C, H, A, N, C, E)
(i) Letter H appears on one face
∴ Probability of getting H = 1/6
(ii) Consonants in the word CHANCE are C, H, N, C
∴ Probability of getting consonants = 4/6 = 2/3
(ii) Vowels in the word CHANCE are A, E
∴ Probability of getting vowels = 2/6 = 1/3
13. A die is rolled once. What is the probability that the number on top will be (a) odd (b) greater
than 5 (c) a multiple of 3
Ans: A dice is rolled once, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Total number of outcomes = 6
(a) Odd numbers in the dice are 1, 3, 5
Probability = total number of odd numbers/ Total number of outcomes
= 3/6 = 1/2
(b) Greater than 5 is 6
Probability = total number Greater than 5/ Total number of outcomes = 1/6
(c) Multiple of 3 = 3 and 6
Probability = total number of multiple of 3/ Total number of outcomes
= 2/6 = 1/3

spent is ₹ 20,000.
(a) Find the amount spent on clothes?
(b) How much more amount is spent on food than on education?
(c) On which item was the expenditure maximum?
(d) What is the amount spent on rent?

Ans: Total amount spent = ₹ 20,000

360
(a) The amount spent on clothes =  20000 = ₹ 2000
3600
1080
(b) The amount spent on food =  20000 = ₹ 6000
3600

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 4 -

 720
The amount spent on education =  20000 = ₹ 4000
3600
So, amount of ₹ (6000 – 4000), i.e., ₹ 2000 is spent more on food than on education.
(c) Since, the central angle representing expenditure on food, i.e., 108° is greater than the central angles
of the sectors representing other items, so, the expenditure was maximum on food.
900
(d) The amount spent on rent =  20000 = ₹ 5000
3600

16. A bag contains 10 red, 5 blue and 7 green balls. A ball is drawn at random. Find the probability
of this ball being a (i) red ball (ii) green ball (iii) blue ball (iv) not a blue ball
Ans: Total number of balls = 10 + 5 + 7 = 22
(i) Number of red balls = 10
∴ Probability of getting red ball = 10/22 = 5/11
(ii) Number of green balls = 7
∴ Probability of getting green ball = 7/22
(iii) Number of blue balls = 5
∴ Probability of getting blue ball = 5/22
(iv) Number of balls not blue = 10 + 7 = 17
∴ Probability of getting ball not blue = 17/22

17. Family income is the income from all sources like salary of family members, rents, and interest
received from banks and savings from using skill of family members.
Whatever money we spend from the income for buying various things to fulfil our needs is
called expenditure. Income brings money into a family while expenditure takes money out so
that it is not available for anything else. Saving is the money set aside by the family for use in
times of need.
Below pie chart gives the expenditure (in percentage) on various items and savings of a family
during a month.

(a) If the monthly savings of the family is Rs 3000, what is the total expenditure?
