Prepare a tally mark table.
Solution:
Question 2.
There are 1000 students in a school. Data regarding the mode of transport of the students as given below. Draw a pictograph to represent the data.
Solution:
The pictograph for the mode of transport of students.
Question 3.
The following pictograph shows the total savings of a group of friends in a year. Each picture represents a saving of Rs. 100. Answer the following questions.
(i) What is the ratio of Ruby’s saving to that of Thasnim’s?
(ii) What is the ratio of Kuzhali’s savings to that of others?
(iii) How much is Iniya’s savings?
(iv) Find the total amount of savings of all your friends?
(v) Ruby and Kuzhali save the same amount. Say True or False.
Solution:
(i) Ratio of Ruby’s saving to that of Thasnim’s
\(=\frac{\text { Ruby’s saving }}{\text { Thasnim’s saving }}=\frac{5 \times 100}{4 \times 100}=\frac{5}{4}=5: 4\)
Ratio of Ruby’s saving to that of Thasnims = 5 : 4
(ii) Ratio of Kuzhali’s savings to that of others
\(=\frac{\text { kuzhali’s saving }}{\text { others saving }}=\frac{5 \times 100}{19 \times 100}=\frac{5}{19}=5: 19\)
Ratio of Kuzhali’s saving to that of others = 5 : 19
(iii) Iniya’s saving = 3 × 100 = ₹ 300
(iv) Saving of all the friends = (5 + 7 + 4 + 5 + 3) × 100 = 24 × 100 = ₹ 2400.
Total savings = ₹ 2400
(v) True.

Question 5.
The predictions of Weather in the month of September is given below:
(i) Make a frequency table of the types of weather by reading the calender.
(ii) How many days are either cloudy or partly cloudy
(iii) How many days do not have rain? Give two ways to find the answer?
(iv) Find the ratio of the number of sunny days to Rainy days.
Solution:
Frequency Table for the Type of weather for the month of September
(ii) 14 days.
(iii) For 24 days there is no rain.
(a) From the total 30 days, we subtract the rainy days i.e 30 – 6 = 24 days (from the frequency table)
(b) From the picture, we can count the non-rainy days.
(iv) Ratio of number of Sunny day to Rainy days
\(=\frac{\text { Number of Sunny days }}{\text { Number of Rainy days }}=\frac{10}{6}=\frac{5}{3}=5: 3\)
The ratio of a number of Sunny days to Rainy days = 5 : 3.
