Step-by-step explanation:

A pictograph is the representation of data using images. Pictographs represent the frequency of datawhile using symbols or images that are relevant to the data. This is one of the simplest ways to represent statistical data. And reading a pictograph is made extremely easy as well. The best way to explain a pictograph is through an example. So let us get started.

How to make a Pictograph

Let us take an example. We must represent how many TV sets have been sold in the last few years via a pictograph. So we get started

Collect Data: First step is obviously collecting the data of the category you want to represent. Collect your data by appropriate means. And then make a list or table of the data. And one time finally review the data.

Pick your symbol: Pick a symbol or picturethat accurately represents your data. If you are drawing a pictograph to represent TV sets sold then a symbol of a basketball would be highly confusing! So pick your symbol carefully.

Assign a Key: Sometimes the frequency of the data is too high. Then one symbol cannot represent one frequency. You must set a numerical value that one symbol will represent. This numerical value must be written along with the pictograph. Example one symbol of a TV represents 500 TV sets. This is the key of the pictograph.

Draw the pictograph: Final step is drawing your pictograph. Draw the two columns that represent the category and the data. Then draw the actual symbols that represent the frequencies. Remember that the symbols can be drawn as fractions as well if the frequency is not a whole number.

Review your Data: And finally, review your pictograph and make sure it correctly represents the information that you wanted to relay. Don’t forget to check the labelling of your graph.

After you are done drawing the above pictograph it should look something similar to the following picture.

Advantages of a Pictograph

Express a large amount of information or data in a simple form

Since they make the use of symbols, pictographs attract attention i,e, it is an attractive way to represent data

Pictographs are easy to read since all the information is available at one glance

And since pictographs are universally used they do not require a lot of explanation
