    Using Pictograms for Data Representation

                     A pictogram is a visual representation of data using pictures or symbols to convey information.
                     Each symbol or image in a pictogram represents a certain number of items or units, making it
                     easier to understand data at a glance. This symbol is also known as key. Great for simple data
                     sets, as they are fun and easy to use.

                                                                                 fact bits

                                                                        The line graph, bar chart and
                                                                          pie chart were all invented
                                                                          between 1786 and 1801 by
                                                                          a Scottish engineer named
                                                                              William Playfair.

                     For example, if you were displaying the number of books read by different students in a class, you
                     might use a picture of a book, where each book symbol represents 5 books read. If one student read
                     15 books, their row would have 3 book symbols.

                     Let’s understand this with the help of a scenario.
                     A survey was conducted among grade 6 students to determine which app or activity they spend
                     the most time on after completing their homework. The survey results are shown below:

                     You  are tasked  with visually  representing  this  data  using  a pictogram.  Each      represents
                     6 students.
