Practice Pictograph in Statistics
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
A graph that uses pictures or symbols to represent data, where each symbol stands for a certain number of items.
Instead of boring bars, pictographs use fun pictures to show data. If each smiley face means 2 students, and you see 5 smiley faces, that's 10 students! It makes data feel more real.
Example 1
easyA pictograph shows the number of books read by four students. Each book symbol represents 2 books. Amy has 3 symbols, Ben has 5 symbols, Cara has 2 symbols, and Dan has 4 symbols. How many books did each student read?
Example 2
mediumA pictograph uses a star symbol where each star represents 5 stickers. If one row shows 3 full stars and a half star, how many stickers does that represent? Explain what a half symbol means.
Example 3
mediumA pictograph shows the number of goals scored by four teams. Each football symbol = 3 goals. Team W: 6 symbols, Team X: 4 symbols, Team Y: 7 symbols, Team Z: 5.5 symbols (half symbol included). How many more goals did Team Y score than Team Z?
Example 4
hardYou need to create a pictograph for this data: Red 18, Blue 27, Green 12, Yellow 9. Choose an appropriate key value and determine how many symbols each category needs.
