It鈥檚 Like Time to Do This Exercise In a Marist survey of adults, these are the words or phrases that subjects find most annoying in conversation (along with their frequencies of response): like (127); just sayin鈥 (81); you know (104); whatever (219); obviously (35). Construct a pie chart. Identify one disadvantage of a pie chart

Short Answer

Expert verified

The following pie chart is constructed.

A pie chart does not accurately and exactly represent the frequencies of each category of the given data. Also, it cannot handle a large number of categories as it becomes difficult to interpret the categories with almost the same frequency.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Five different phrases, which are considered the most annoying in conversations, along with their frequencies, are given.

Phrases

Frequency

Whatever

219

Like

127

You know

104

Just sayin'

81

Obviously

35

02

Describe a pie chart

A pie chart is a graph that depicts the proportions of the relative frequencies of different categories as slices of a circle/pie. Thus, the category with the highest frequency represents the largest slice on the chart, and the category with the lowest frequency represents the smallest slice on the chart.

03

Determine the angles corresponding to different frequencies

The following table shows the frequencies of the different phrases.

Phrases

Frequency

1.Whatever

219

2.Like

127

3.You know

104

4.Just sayin'

81

5.Obviously

35

  • Tabulate the values of the angles corresponding to the different categories.
  • Compute the degrees on the circle (out of 360 degrees) for each category using the given formula.

Degreeonthecircle=FrequencyofthecategoryTotalfrequency360

The total frequency is computed as

219+127+104+81+35=566

The degrees corresponding to each phrase are computed as below.

Phrase1=219566360=139Phrase2=127566360=81

Phrase3=104566360=66

Phrase4=81566360=52Phrase5=35566360=22

The above values are rounded in such a way as to get a total of 360 degrees.

04

Sketch the pie chart

Follow the given steps to sketch a pie chart.

  • Mark the angles on a circle corresponding to the degrees computed for each category using a protractor.
  • Represent each category with a different color.

The pie chart is constructed as follows.

05

Disadvantage of a pie chart 

One disadvantage of a pie chart is that a pie chart does not exactly depict the difference in the frequencies of each category.

The slices in a pie chart do not show the exact values corresponding to each category

b. Their IQ scores (x) are measured and their heights (y) are measured in centimetres.

c. Their pulse rates (x) are measured and their IQ scores are measured (y).

d. Their heights (x) are measured in centimetres and those same heights are listed again, but with negative signs (y) preceding each of these second listings.
