Q50

Which of the following activities, most appropriately, represents the four stages involved in handling data i.e., collecting, organising, representing and interpreting data ?

  1. (1) Asking the pupils to list their favourite food.
  2. (2) Asking the pupils to mark their birth dates on a calendar.
  3. (3) Asking the pupils to write the names of their favourite cartoons.
  4. (4) Collecting data about how pupils travel to school and then comparing the different modes of transport used by the pupils.Correct answer

Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) Collecting data on how pupils travel to school and comparing the modes

  1. Here pupils collect the data, sort it by mode of transport, show it (tally or chart) and compare to draw conclusions.
  2. So all four stages, collecting, organising, representing and interpreting, take place.
  3. Options (1), (2) and (3) stop at listing or marking, which is only collecting.

Trap: (2) marking dates is recording, not interpreting.
