The introduction of tally marks make it easier for the manager to count the workers of respective height.

                                                   Pictographic Presentation
            Sometimes, it can be difficult to draw any conclusions from a large amount of data. To overcome this
            difficulty, we can represent the data in the form of graph, through which we can get the answers of the
            questions easily and quickly. In this class, we shall learn two types of graphs:
            (a) Pictographs and                                (b) Bar graphs.

            (a) Pictographs : It is a method of representing data in a picture form.
            The information given in Table-6 can be presented in the form of a pictograph in the following way:

                  Height (in cm)                                     Number of workers



                       168




                       171




                       172




                       174




                       175



                       181



            Also we can draw a pictograph vertically as given below:

                          = 1 worker








             No. of workers









             Height (in cm)         168            171            172           174            175            181
