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.

Answer 1

We know that, over is an independent variable and run is a dependent variable. So, we take overs on the x-axis and runs on the y-axis.

By choosing 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.
