Introduction to Pictograms and How to Construct and Interpret Them

The video tutorial explains the use of pictograms for visual representation of data. It covers the steps to construct a pictogram using a pumpkin harvesting example, including setting up categories and a key. The tutorial also demonstrates how to interpret pictograms with examples from airports, addressing both simple and complex questions. It concludes with a summary of key points and tips for effectively using and interpreting pictograms.

What is the primary purpose of using pictograms?
