7.2 Representing data in tables

In Tank B Jabu has 50 Syubunkin fish. He measured them and
wrote his measurements in this tally table. It helps him to
organise his measurements. He makes a mark (tally) in the
appropriate place in the table. Have a look at what he did.

1. What can you tell about the length of the fish from Jabu’s
tally table? Write down your story and compare it with
that of a classmate.

2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statements?
Explain why.

(a) Most Syubunkins are between 5 cm and 8 cm long.
(b) Most Syubunkins are 4 cm long.
(c) The number of Syubunkins that are 3 cm long is the
same as the number of Syubunkins that are 6 cm long.

(d) Half of the Syubunkins are 5 cm up to 8 cm long.
3. Jabu asks you to put together the information about the fish
in Tank A (that is, the fish on pages 88 and 89). Make a tally
table like the one above to show the lengths of the Hibuna
and Huna fish that you measured.
