Question:
The runs scored by a cricket team in first 15 overs are given below:
| Overs: | I | II | III | IV | V | VI | VII | VIII | IX | X | XI | XII | XIII | XIV | XV |
| Runs: | 2 | 1 | 4 | 2 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 21 | 5 | 8 | 3 | 2 | 6 | 8 | 12 |
Draw the graph representing the above data in two different ways as a graph and as a bar chart.
Solution:
Here, over is an independent variable and run is a dependent variable. So, we take overs on the x-axis and runs the on y-axis.
Let us choose the following scale:
On x-axis: 1 cm = 1 over
On y-axis: 1 cm = 2 runs
Now, let us plot (I,2), (II,1), (III,4),...,(XV,12). These points are joined to get the graph representing the given information as shown in the figure below..png)
