2005; 4,500 in 2006; and 2000 in 2007. Use a pictograph to illustrate
the set of data.
2. Pie Chart
Example 1.
Jaymie budgets her money by spending her ₧200.00 allowance
as follows: ₧100.00 on fare, ₧40.00 on snacks and ₧60.00 on supplies.

3. Bar Graph
·· Uses two axes, where one contains each category in the data set
and the other is the corresponding number. Bar graphs of two or
more data set can be made together.
·· However, when trying to measure change over time, bar graphs are
best when the changes are larger.
Title of the
Bar Graph
Scale - numbers
to show how Labels of categories
many to tell what each bar
stands for
Two types of bar graphs may be used: vertical bar graph (left
figure) and horizontal bar graph (right figure). Horizontal bar
graphs are particularly used when the different categories have
long titles and there is insufficient space to place below the
horizontal bar.
Example 1.
Allyah’s farm wants to compare the amount of harvest for the last
five months. Last May they harvested 15kg, then 19kg on June, 21kg on
July, 10kg on August, and 16kg on September. Use a vertical (upright)
bar graph to represent this data.
Example 2.
Create a horizontal bar graph for the number of people with
favorite hobbies in Betty’s list.

Betty received their electric bill for the previous month and noticed a
graph containing some data. Let us help Betty identify the parts of the graph
by answering the given questions.
Let us consider the graph from Betty’s electric bill consumption in the
activity.
·· All parts of a graph are important. The first one to check is the title,
then the type of graph because it gives an idea as to what the graph
is representing.
·· Examine the axes for bar graphs and line graphs as it will tell you
how to read the values accurately. In this example, the interval is
75 − between the numbers on the vertical axis.
·· The vertical bars show the value of the consumption for each month
by the household.
Example 1.
Use the pictograph showing the number of customers in a
beauty parlor to answer the following questions.
c. I f each girl on the pictograph pays ₧100.00, how much more did
the beauty parlor earn in July than in January?
b. Compare the months and list those that have the same number
of symbols.
Example 2.
Refer to the line graph of inflation rate (changes in price of
goods) to answer the following questions.
a. W
hat months experienced a decrease in the inflation? Increase in
the inflation? Remained the same?
b. In which months did the highest and lowest inflation rate occur?

c. The months with plotted points across the value of 0.3 are August
(2017), December (2017) and April (2018).
Example 3.
Use the pie chart showing the activities to answer the following
questions.
b. How much time (in hours) is NOT spent for sleeping and work?
Time Spent on
Daily Activities
a. T
o find hours spent for sleeping, convert percentage (25%) to
decimal, then multiply it by 24, since there are 24 hours dur-
ing the day to distribute the activities.
25
= 0.25 ·· 24 ( 0.25 ) = 6
100 ·· Therefore, 6 hours is spent for sleeping.
b. Find the total number of hours spent on sleeping and working:
Sleeping = 25%
Working = 40%
Total = 25%+40% = 65%
c. W
e need to find another activity to be added to sleeping and eating
to make their total percentage equal to the percentage of working
which is 40%.
25% + 8% = 33%.
40% − 33% = 7%

• Types of Survey
Interview – interaction involving the researcher asking
questions to one or more respondents about information
needed in a research.
“
Questionnaire – a document with a series of questions
for the purpose of gathering information from
respondents.
• Types of Graphs
A pictograph is a graph that shows numerical
information by using picture symbols to represent data
sets. Each picture represents a specific value.
