ANSWERS
Ans 1: Data is information, like facts or numbers, that can be stored and used for
various purposes. It can be in the form of words, numbers, or pictures. Examples of data
include your age, the temperature outside, or the scores in a game.
Ans 2: Information is the meaning or knowledge that we get from data. It's like
understanding or making sense of the facts and numbers. For example, if you have data
about the temperatures for a week, the information could be that it was a hot week or a
cold week. So, information is what we learn or discover from the data.
Ans 3: Two sources of data are:
? Surveys: Asking people questions to collect information.
? Sensors: Devices that measure things like temperature or movement and
provide data.
Ans 4: Two main sources of secondary data are:
? Books and Journals: Information collected and documented by others in
books, articles, or research papers.
? Government Reports: Data and findings published by government agencies,
such as census reports or economic surveys.
Ans 5: Processing of data means working with information to organize, analyze, or
transform it into a useful form. It involves activities like sorting, calculating,
summarizing, or presenting data to make it easier to understand and use. Processing
helps in drawing conclusions and making informed decisions based on the data.
Ans 6: Measures of central tendency are numbers that represent the central or typical
value in a set of data. The main measures of central tendency are:
? Mean: The average value calculated by adding up all the values and then
dividing by the number of values.
? Median: The middle value in a set of data when arranged in numerical order. If
there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle
values.
? Mode: The value that appears most frequently in a set of data.
Ans 7: The three most important measures of central tendency are:
? Mean: The average value.
? Median: The middle value.
? Mode: The most frequently occurring value.
Ans 8: Statistical diagrams are visual representations of data that help to illustrate and

Ans 8: Statistical diagrams are visual representations of data that help to illustrate and
interpret information. They make it easier to understand patterns, trends, and
relationships in the data. Common types of statistical diagrams include:
? Bar Graphs: Uses bars to represent and compare different categories of data.
? Pie Charts: A circular graph divided into sectors to show the proportion of each
category in a whole.
? Line Graphs: Displays data points on a line, showing how one variable changes
in relation to another.
? Histograms: Similar to bar graphs but used for representing the distribution of
a continuous data set.
? Scatter Plots: Shows the relationship between two variables by plotting points
on a graph.
These diagrams are helpful tools for conveying information visually and making data
analysis more accessible.
Ans 9: Statistical diagrams represent data in a visual form to help people understand
patterns and trends more easily. While they provide a visual representation, it's
important to note that they are simplifications and abstractions of the actual data. The
accuracy of the representation depends on how well the diagram is constructed and
whether it accurately reflects the underlying data.
In some cases, diagrams may present a truthful and accurate representation of the data,
but it's crucial to interpret them carefully. Misleading choices in scaling, labeling, or
presentation can distort the perception of the data. Therefore, it's essential to use
statistical diagrams responsibly and consider the context and accuracy of the
information being conveyed.

Ans 11: Statistical diagrams, while useful for visualizing data, have some drawbacks
that should be considered:
? Simplification: Diagrams simplify complex data, potentially oversimplifying or
losing important details.

distorting the scale, omitting information, or using inappropriate visual elements.
? Limited Information: Diagrams may not provide a complete understanding of
the data, as they typically focus on specific aspects or variables.
? Lack of Context: Diagrams may lack the context needed for a comprehensive
understanding of the data, potentially leading to misinterpretation.
? Inaccuracy: Errors in data entry, calculation, or graphical representation can
introduce inaccuracies in the diagram.
? Overemphasis on Outliers: Some diagrams may emphasize outliers, drawing
attention away from the overall trend or pattern in the data.

representation of trends and patterns. It's like connecting the dots to see the story the
data is telling.
Ans 14: Another name for a pie diagram is a "pie chart." It's called a chart because it
visually represents data in a circular form, divided into slices like pieces of a pie, each
representing a proportion of the whole.
Ans 15: Pie Diagram:
? Collect Data: Gather information about different categories or parts.
? Calculate Percentages: Find out what percentage each part is of the whole.

? Draw a Circle: Use a compass to draw a circle. This represents the whole data.
? Divide into Slices: Draw lines from the center to divide the circle into slices
according to the percentages.
? L abel and Color: Label each slice with the category it represents and add colors
for clarity.
Bar Diagram (Bar Graph):
? Collect Data: Get information about different categories.
? Choose Scale: Decide how each category will be represented on the graph (e.g.,
1 cm = 10 units).
? Draw Bars: Draw rectangles for each category, making sure they are
proportional to the data.
? Label and Color: Label each bar with the category it represents, and you can
add colors for better understanding.
Ans 16: Flow diagrams, also known as flowcharts, are visual representations of a
process or system. They use shapes and arrows to show the steps in a sequence, decision
points, and the flow of information or materials. Flow diagrams are like maps that help
you understand how something works or how different steps are connected.
For example, if you want to show the steps to make a sandwich, a flow diagram would
have shapes for each step (like "get bread," "add toppings") and arrows to show the
order of actions. They are handy for explaining processes in a clear and visual way.
Ans 17: The two most important features of a flow diagram are:
? Shapes and Symbols: Flow diagrams use specific shapes and symbols to
represent different elements such as processes, decisions, start/end points, or
input/output. For example, rectangles may represent processes, diamonds
indicate decision points, and ovals signify the start or end.
? Arrows and Lines: Arrows or lines connect the shapes in the flow diagram,
showing the flow or sequence of steps. Arrows indicate the direction of the
process or the path to follow. They connect the different elements and help
visualize the progression of steps in a system or process.
Ans 18: A star diagram, also known as a radar chart, is commonly used to display and
compare multiple variables or components in a dataset. Each variable is represented by
a spoke or arm radiating from the center, and the length of each arm corresponds to the
value of that variable.
In the context of climate, a star diagram could be used to represent various climate
elements such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind speed, and more. Each
element would have its own arm on the star diagram, and the length of the arms would
indicate the magnitude or value of each respective climate variable. This visualization
helps in comparing and understanding the overall climate profile.
Ans 19: Distribution maps show where particular things, like animals, plants, or
phenomena, are found in a specific geographic area. They use colors, symbols, or
