Question

Which one of the following is distinct from the others?

• A. Histogram
• B. Pictogram
• C. Ogive
• D. Frequency polygon

Hint:

A pictogram uses pictures or symbols to represent data, making it distinct from other statistical graphs like histograms, ogives, and frequency polygons.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- A Histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of numerical data. It uses rectangular bars to represent data frequencies, where each bar's height corresponds to the frequency of data within a particular range.
- A Pictogram uses pictures or symbols to represent data values. Each symbol represents a specific quantity, and this makes it different from the other types of data representation.
- An Ogive is a graph that represents the cumulative frequency of data. It is constructed by plotting cumulative frequency against the upper class boundaries of a grouped frequency distribution.
- A Frequency Polygon is a graphical representation similar to a histogram, but it uses a line to represent frequencies instead of bars.
Thus, the Pictogram is distinct because it uses images instead of numerical bars or lines to represent data, unlike the other types which are based on frequencies.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Pictogram}} \]
