Very Short Answer:
1. Data is collection of numbers gathered to give some information.
2. Total pictures = 25
Each picture stands for 25 shapes.
So, Total shapes students drew altogether = 25 × 25 = 625 shapes
3. From the given data, we have the following table.
4. From the above information, we have the following table.
(a) Maximum marks obtained by a student = 100
(b) 5 + 3 + 6 = 14 students obtained marks less than 75.
(c) 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 11 students scored marks 80 or above 80.
(d) Total 25 students were appeared in the test.
5. Number of people liked Red colour = 5 × 10 + 5 = 55
Number of people liked White colour = 2 × 10 = 20
Number of people liked Green colour = 3 × 10 = 30
Number of people liked Blue colour = 5 × 10 = 20
Hence, Red colour most liked by the people.
