Answer :
To create a bar chart representing the number of phone calls Kai receives each day, follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Data:
- Days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
- Number of phone calls corresponding to each day: 240, 140, 185, 80, 225.
2. Draw the Axes:
- On graph paper or using graphing software, draw two perpendicular lines. The horizontal line (x-axis) will represent the days of the week, and the vertical line (y-axis) will represent the number of phone calls.
3. Label the Axes:
- Label the horizontal axis (x-axis) as "Day".
- Label the vertical axis (y-axis) as "Number of Calls".
4. Mark the Days of the Week on the X-axis:
- Divide the x-axis into five equal parts and mark them as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Space them evenly.
5. Determine the Scale for the Y-axis:
- Review the range of the data (the smallest value is 80, and the largest value is 240). Choose a scale that covers this range comfortably, such as increments of 50 (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, etc.).
6. Draw the Bars:
- For each day, draw a vertical bar that corresponds to the number of phone calls received on that day.
- On Monday, draw a bar that reaches up to 240 on the y-axis.
- On Tuesday, draw a bar that reaches up to 140.
- On Wednesday, draw a bar that reaches up to 185.
- On Thursday, draw a bar that reaches up to 80.
- On Friday, draw a bar that reaches up to 225.
7. Add Details:
- Give your bar chart a title: "Number of Phone Calls Received Each Day".
- Ensure each bar is clearly marked or distinguished by colors if desired.
- Optionally, above each bar, you can write the exact number of calls to make the chart more informative.
The final bar chart should look something like this:
```

In this diagram:
- The highest bar represents Monday with 240 calls.
- The shortest bar represents Thursday with 80 calls.
- Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday have 140, 185, and 225 calls, respectively.
Ensure that the bars are evenly spaced and that the heights accurately reflect the data values.
