Question

The runs scored by two teams A and B in first 10 overs are given below:

| Overs | I | II | III | IV | V | VI | VII | VIII | IX | X |
| Team A | 2 | 1 | 8 | 9 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 10 | 6 | 2 |
| Team B | 5 | 6 | 2 | 10 | 5 | 6 | 3 | 4 | 8 | 10 |

Draw a graph depicting the data, making the graphs on the same axes in each case 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 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 = 1 run

Now, let us plot (I, 2), (II, 1), (III, 8)… (X, 2) for team A and (I, 5), (II, 6), (III, 8) ….. (X, 10) for team B.

These points are joined to get the graph representing the given information as shown in the figure below.
