(1) b) Kate wants to draw a pictogram to snow the information. She has drawn the first three rows. Complete the pictogram. Remember to complete the key. Key: Family Judo School Drama Club represents (3) friends ​

Answer 1

Mode: School group

Key: 4 friends

Explanation:

The mode of a data set is the most frequently occurring data value.

Therefore, the School group is the mode, as this group has then greatest number of friends (14).

A pictogram is a simple picture or symbol used to represent information without using words.

The family group has 6 friends. If we look at the given pictogram (attached), we can see that for the family group, there is a box with 4 small squares inside and a box with 2 small square inside. Therefore, each small square represents 1 friend, so each 2x2 square (containing 4 small squares) represents 4 friends.

We are told that the Drama Club has 8 friends. The pictogram only shows one 2x2 square, which represents 4 friends. Therefore, we need to draw another 2x2 square to represent the total of 8 friends in this group.
