Graphical Representation

Definition

Graphical representation involves using visual elements such as charts, graphs, or diagrams to present information or data visually.

Analogy

Think about creating a pie chart to represent your monthly expenses. Each slice represents a category (e.g., rent, groceries) and its size corresponds to the proportion it takes up from your total expenses. Similarly, graphical representations help us understand complex information by presenting it visually.
