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 |
Here, 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 our given points. These points are joined to get the graph representing the given information as shown in the figure below.
Scale:
On x axis: 1cm = 1 over
On y-axis: 1 cm = 2 runs
Now we draw bar graph.
