Examples

1. The following table shows the number of students present in the first five days of the week.

   

   1. On Monday 120 students are present. On Wednesday also the same number of students are present, and on Monday and Wednesday the maximum number of students are present.
   2. On Thursday the number of students are present are 20 X 4 + 10 + 10 = 100 students, On Tuesday also the same number of students are present.
   3. On Friday the least number of students are present 20 X 4 + 5 + 5 = 90
2. The following graph shows the number of vehicles on the road in thousands

   

   1. 1= thousands
   2. On Monday and Saturday the same number of vehicles are on the road that is 4,000, that is the least number of vehicles.
   3. On Thursday the maximum number of vehicles are on the road that is 32,500, and it is 2,500 more vehicles than the number of vehicles on Friday, which is a little bit more.
   4. On Thursday the number of vehicles are 32,500 and on Wednesday the number of vehicles are 22,500. Hence the difference is of 10,000 vehicles.
   5. The total number of vehicles on the road on all these days are 4,000 + 7,500 + 22,500 + 32,500 + 30,000 + 4,000 = 1,00,500 vehicles.
3. The following data shows the number of admission in a college in hundreds –
