Data Handling

Chapter 9
9.1 Introduction
You must have observed your teacher recording the attendance of students in
your class everyday, or recording marks obtained by you after every test or
examination. Similarly, you must have also seen a cricket score board. Two
score boards have been illustrated here :

Name of the bowlers Overs Maiden overs Runs given Wickets taken

A 10 2 40 3

B 10 1 30 2

C 10 2 20 1

D 10 1 50 4

Name of the batsmen Runs Balls faced Time (in min.)

E 45 62 75

F 55 70 81

G 37 53 67

H 22 41 55

You know that in a game of cricket the information recorded is not simply
about who won and who lost. In the score board, you will also find some
equally important information about the game. For instance, you may find
out the time taken and number of balls faced by the highest run-scorer.
