What do pictographs generally visualize?

Percentages
Discrete data with symbols
Trends and changes over time
Measurement of angles

The correct answer is: Discrete data with symbols

Pictographs primarily serve to visualize discrete data through the use of symbols or images, making it easier to understand numerical information at a glance. Each symbol in a pictograph represents a quantity or an amount, allowing viewers to quickly comprehend differences and similarities in data points. This method is particularly effective for illustrating simple and easy-to-compare quantities, such as the number of pets owned in different households or favorite ice cream flavors among a group of friends. While other options might represent different forms of data visualization—such as percentages, trends over time, or angles—they do not capture the essence of pictographs as effectively. Pictographs focus specifically on individual data points and their representation through images rather than illustrating continuous data, statistical relationships, or mathematical concepts like angles.
