What is the difference between a pareto chart and a tally chart?
A pareto chart combines a bar chart and a line graph that displays the values in descending order as bars and the cumulative totals of each category, left to right, as a line graph. A tally chart shows a cumulative count of items in a category, frequently indicated by a small horizontal line for each four items and a diagonal line for the fifth item. This sequence repeats with groups of five until all items are counted.

What is the difference between a pie chart and column chart?

Why did the student draw a bar chart rather than a line graph?
Your best chance of getting the correct answer is to ask the student who drew the chart. The type of chart/graph that is best drawn depends upon the data being represented: If the chart is being used to show how data represents a fraction of a whole, a Pie chart would be used. If the chart is of discrete data, eg shoe sizes, a bar chart would be used. If the chart is of continuous data, eg the height of people, a line chart would be used. A pictogram is a version of the bar chart with the bars split up into icons which represent some kind of unit; eg for shoe sales of different styles a shop could use a shoe icon to represent 5 shoes with parts of a shoe icon representing 1-4 shoes sold. In business which of the bar chart and line graph is used depends upon what sort of information is required to be shown and to whom*. For factual information about different items a bar chart is often used (eg how much is sales per month), but if a trend is required a line graph can be used (eg how is sales per month changing). * The "to whom" bit is often the deciding factor - the choice of chart and how it is drawn can be used to great effect to enhance or hide certain aspects of the data.
What kind of graph is in which data about separate but related items are represented by rectangular shapes?
