Data Handling & Presentation — solved examples for Class 6 CBSE

Example 1easy

Which of the following statements best describes 'data' in the context of data handling?

A)It is always a set of numbers arranged in ascending order.
B)It refers to the raw facts and figures collected for a specific purpose.
C)It is a completed graph or chart that shows patterns.
D)It is a single, pre-calculated answer to a mathematical problem.

Step-by-step solution

Data refers to the unorganized facts, figures, and information collected from various sources.
Before data can be analyzed or presented, it exists in its raw form.
Therefore, raw facts and figures are the best description of data.

Answer: It refers to the raw facts and figures collected for a specific purpose.

Which of the following best describes 'data' in the context of data handling?

A)A. A single number
B)B. A collection of facts or figures
C)C. A picture representing information
D)D. A table with rows and columns

Step-by-step solution

Example 3hard

A teacher wants to find out the favourite fruit of students in her Class 6. She asks only the students who brought apples for lunch that day. She then concludes that apples are the most popular fruit. Which of the following statements is TRUE about her conclusion?

A)The conclusion is definitely true because many students brought apples.
B)The conclusion is likely false because the data collected is biased.
C)The conclusion is true because she surveyed her own class.
D)The conclusion cannot be determined without knowing the total number of students.

Step-by-step solution

The teacher only asked students who brought apples. This means the sample surveyed was not random or representative of the whole class's fruit preferences, as it specifically targeted those who already like/chose apples for lunch.
By only asking apple-eaters, she introduced a bias into her data collection, making it highly probable that apples would appear as the most popular fruit in her survey.
Therefore, her conclusion is likely false because the data collection method was flawed and biased, not accurately reflecting the general preferences of all students in the class.

Answer: The conclusion is likely false because the data collected is biased.
