Pictograph Example
In the above two headings we have learnt steps how to read and create pictograph, now we will learn to create and read a pictograph using an example.
Suppose you want to represent the number of books four students read in a month using a pictograph. The data for the same is given below:
Students |
Student A |
Student B |
Student C |
Student D |
---|---|---|---|---|
Books |
4 |
8 |
6 |
8 |
- To create a pictograph we need to understand the data first that is the type of data as in our table some students are there with some books.
- Now, we will choose an icon to make a pictograph. After choosing an icon we will provide a scaling factor which will be 2 in the given example.
- Now, we will present our pictograph
To read the pictograph, identify the icon which is a book in this case, and then look for the scaling factor and then based on the scaling factor count the icons for every student and then find the value by multiplying the number of icons with the scaling factor(interpreting the data). Now find conclusions.
Now since each picture of book represent two books and the pictograph shows student A has two book pictures hence, student A has in total 2 × 2 = 4 books. Similarly Student B has 4 × 2 = 8 books, Student C has 3 × 2 = 6 books and Student D has 4 × 2 = 8 books.
Pictograph in Statistics
Pictograph in Statistics: A pictograph is a visual representation of data employing images or symbols. It depicts the frequency or occurrence of data by utilizing relevant symbols or images. Pictographs provide a straightforward method to convey statistical information.
In statistics, we use the concept of data handling to deal with large data sets. The methods of data handling include bar graphs, histograms, pie charts, etc. Pictograph is essential for students of class 6 and class 7 to learn data handling.
In this article, we’ll learn about what are pictographs in maths, pictograph definitions, how to make a pictograph, and how to read a pictograph. We will also see examples of pictographs with explanations and also have some pictograph questions to practice on their own.
