A bar graph can be used to display and
compare data. A bar graph displays
data with vertical or horizontal bars.
Example 1: Reading a Bar Graph
Use the bar graph to answer each question.
Which biome in the
graph has the least
average summer
temperature?
Find the lowest bar.
The coniferous forest has
the least average summer
temperature.
Example 1B: Reading a Bar Graph
Use the bar graph to answer each question.
Which biomes in the
graph have an average
summer temperature of
30C or greater?
Find the bar or bars
whose heights measure
30 or more than 30.
The grassland and the
rain forest have average
summer temperatures of
30C or greater.

Step 1:Find an appropriate scale
and interval. The scale
must include all of the
data values. The interval
separates the scale into
equal parts.
Step 2:Use the data to
determine the lengths of
the bars. Draw bars of
equal width. The bars
cannot touch.

Understand the Problem
You are asked to use a graph to compare the
data given in the table. You will need to use all of
the information given.
Example 2 Continued
Determine appropriate scales
for both sets of data.
Use the data to determine the
lengths of the bars. Draw bars
of equal width. Bars should be
in pairs. Use a different color
for boy memberships and girl
memberships. Title the graph
and label both axes.
Include a key to show what
each bar represents.

The frequency of a data value is the
number of times it occurs.
A frequency table tells the number of
times an event, category, or group occurs.

a Frequency Table

A line plot uses a number line and x’s
or other symbols to show frequencies
of values.
Example 4: Making a Line Plot

The number of balls collected by the
students is recorded in the table. Make a line
