NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 5 Data Handling Ex 5.1

Ex 5.1 Class 8 Maths Question 1.
For which of these would you use a histogram to show the data?
(i) The number of letters for different areas in a postman’s bag.
(ii) The height of competitors in an athletics meet.
(iii) The number of cassettes produced by 5 companies.
(iv) The number of passengers boarding trains from 7 a.m to 7 p.m at a station.
Give a reason for each.

Solution:
(i) The number of areas cannot be represented in class-intervals. So, we cannot use the histogram to show the data.
(ii) Height of competitors can be divided into intervals. So, we can use histogram here.
For example:

(iii) Companies cannot be divided into intervals. So, we cannot use histogram here.
(iv) Time for boarding the train can be divided into intervals. So, we can use histogram here.
For example:
