Answer 2

Across the bottom of the graph, list the five countries.  List numbers for quantity of immigrants on the vertical access.  Then draw a vertical bar or column (wide line) up to the correct number for each country.  For a sample of what a bar graph looks like, see the site below.  If you have Microsoft Excel, you can use it to draw your graph.  Otherwise, you should hand draw it on graph paper.

  

Answer 3

Draw in your axes (one line goes across the page - x axis and one line goes up - y axis)

Along the bottom axis (x axis) put the names of your 5 countries, evenly spaced across the axis

Up the other axis (y axis) put the numbers of people evenly, Decide on what scale to use ie Go up in hundreds, thousands, etc. I can't tell you what numbers to use as I don't have your information. Go from just below the smallest number up the axis to end just above the largest number.

Label both your axes ie "Countries of Origin" on the x axis and "Number of People in Thousands" on the y axis.

Look at your information and draw a short line corresponding to the number of people from your first country on the graph going across the page. Join up that line with a line going down to the x axis from each end of your short line. You have made one bar.

Continue with the other countries and population numbers, making a bar for each one.

Give your graph a title and you are finished.

Answer 4

A bar graph is in the shape of an L;  Along the bottom of the L you would list the five countries (vertically)  and along the side of the L you would list the numbers immigrating say by 50 thousands.  So like at the corner of the L would be 0 then 50,000 then 100,000 etc.
