Data can be displayed in bar graphs and pictographs.

First, you collect the data in a frequency table.
 

Dog Survey

Spaniel	25
Dalmatian	20
Setter	15
Retriever	30

Then you can display the data in a bar graph.   You can also display the data in a pictograph.   Dog Survey         Spaniel         Dalmatian         Setter         Retriever       Key    = 5 dogs

 

Let's look at another example.

 The data is displayed in a frequency table.

It can be displayed in a bar graph.
