9. Example 7-1a TOURISM The table below shows the average number of vacation days per year for people in various countries. Make a bar graph to display the data. 13United States 25Japan 25Korea 26Canada 28United Kingdom 34Brazil 35Germany 37France 42Italy Vacation Days per YearCountry Source: The World Almanac 1/5

10. Example 7-1a 13United States 25Japan 25Korea 26Canada 28United Kingdom 34Brazil 35Germany 37France 42Italy Vacation Days per YearCountry Source: The World Almanac 1/5 Decide on a scale and interval Find the largest number Since the scale must start at 0 on a bar graph and must include the largest number so scale should be at least 0 - 50 10 would be appropriate intervals

11. Example 7-1a 1/5 The numbers of the intervals are identified on the lines not the spaces Start at zero (0) and use 10 as the intervals Label the vertical axis which is the intervals

12. Example 7-1a 1/5 Label the horizontal axis which is the categories

13. Example 7-1a 1/5 Give the graph a title Must have a relationship between the horizontal and vertical axis

14. Example 7-1a 1/5 Draw the bars using the data from the chart

15. Example 7-1a 1/5 Answer:

16. Example 7-1b SPORTS The table below shows the average number of miles run each day during training by members of the cross country track team. Make a bar graph to display the data. Runner Miles Run Each Day Bob 9 Tamika12 David14 Anne 8 Jonas 5 Hana10 1/5

17. Example 7-1b Answer: 1/5

18. Example 7-2a BASKETBALL The number of wins for the 29 teams of the NBA for the 2000-2001 season have been organized into a frequency table. Make a histogram of the data. Number of Wins Frequency 11-20 3 21-30 4 31-40 4 41-5010 51-60 8 2/5 Decide on a scale and interval Find the largest number Since the scale must start at 0 on a bar graph and must include the largest number so scale should be at least 0 - 10

19. Example 7-2a 2/5 The numbers of the intervals are identified on the lines not the spaces Start at zero (0) The interval is by 1’s but can label every other line

20. Example 7-2a 2/5 Label the vertical axis Number of Wins Frequency 11-20 3 21-30 4 31-40 4 41-5010 51-60 8

21. Example 7-2a 2/5 Add the categories on the horizontal axis Number of Wins Frequency 11-20 3 21-30 4 31-40 4 41-5010 51-60 8

22. Example 7-2a 2/5 Label the horizontal axis Number of Wins Frequency 11-20 3 21-30 4 31-40 4 41-5010 51-60 8

23. Example 7-2a 2/5 Give histogram a title BASKETBALL The number of wins for the 29 teams of the NBA for the 2000-2001 season have been organized into a frequency table. Make a histogram of the data.

24. Example 7-2a 2/5 Draw a bar to represent the frequency of each category Number of Wins Frequency 11-20 3 21-30 4 31-40 4 41-5010 51-60 8 Remember: The bars touch in a histogram
