Pie Charts & Pictograms in Biostatistics

This document discusses graphical presentation of data using pie diagrams and pictograms. It explains that a pie diagram represents total data values using a circle divided into sectors corresponding to each data component, with the sector angle calculated as a percentage of 360 degrees. A pictogram represents data values using pictures of equal size, with each picture representing a number of data units. An example shows a pie chart representing marks obtained in three subjects. Another example shows a pictogram using stick figures to represent book production numbers from 2006 to 2008.

3.3 Pie Diagram
• It is drawn to represent the total value of the given
element using a circle.
• Also called - Divided Circle Diagram.
– While dividing the circle into corresponding degrees of
angle then represent the sub– sets of the data.
• The angle of each variable is calculated using the
following formulae:
Value of one component
Total Value of all the component
X 360
Working procedure
• The surface area of a circle covers 360 Degree
or 2μ radius.
• Plot a circle, the angle of circle totals 360 ͦ .
• Convert the given values of component in
percentage of the total value.
• Change the various component values
correspondence to the degree of on the circle.
Working procedure
• Since 100 % is represented by 360 angle
the centre of the circle,
– Therefore 1 % value is represented by
360 /100 = 3.6 º
– If 5% of certain component, the angle which
represent the percentage of that value is
3.6 º x 5 = 15 º in circle.
Value of one component
Total Value of all the component X 360
Working procedure
• Exercise : Marks obtained in test by a
bioscience students are as follows
Zoology Botany Chemistry

65 60 55

Represent the data in pie chart diagram.


Working procedure
• Solution
– Total Number of component is 65+60+55 = 180

Subject Marks Angle to be plotted in circle

Zoology 65 65/180 x 360 = 130º

Botany 60 60/180 x 360 = 120º

chemistry 55 55/180 x 360 = 110º

3.4 Pictogram
• It is a popular method of representing
statistical data in picture.
– A number of pictures of equal size and
definite numerical values are drawn.
– Each pictures represents a number of units.
– Pictures are draw side horizontal or vertical.
3.4 Pictogram
• Exercise :
– Represent the following data of the production
of books from a publication.
