Pie Chart

- A pie chart is a circular chart in which the circle is divided into sectors ,illustrating proportion . Each sector visually represents an item in a data set to match the amount of the item as a percentage or fraction of the total data set. - A pie chart is a graphical data analysis technique for summarizing the distributional information of a variable. It is a circular plot consisting of wedges where the size of each wedge is proportional to the frequency (= number of observations) in that wedge. The plot is to be read clockwise (where the rst wedge is at 9 oclock)

Tabular

Vertical Bar Graph

a vertical bar graph, values of the independent variable are plotted along a horizontal axis from left to right. Function values are shown as shaded or colored vertical bars of equal thickness extending upward from the horizontal axis to various heights

Pictograph

- Pictograph is a way of representing statistical data using symbolic figures to match the frequencies of different kinds of data. - a record consisting of pictorial symbols, as a prehistoric cavedrawi ng or a graph or chart with symbolic figures representinga certain n umber of people, cars, factories, etc.
