4/20 x 100 = 20%

5/20 x 100 = 25%

6/20 x 100 = 30%

1/20 x 100 = 5%

4/20 x 100 = 20%

4/20 x 100 = 20% 4/20 x 360 = 72

5/20 x 100 = 25% 5/20 x 360 = 90

6/20 x 100 = 30% 6/20 x 360 = 108

1/20 x 100 = 5% 1/20 x 360 = 18

4/20 x 100 = 20% 4/20 x 360 = 72

Step 4
Construct the pie chart (use your protractor)

example
The number of students in the four departments of a technical College are represented in the pie chart. There are 150 students in the mathematics department. Calculate: a) The total number of students in the college b) The number of students in the Engineering department c) The percentage of students in the Computing department

Students in Technical college departments

Solutions
a)(150 x) x 360 = 90 (150 x = 90 360 = 0.25 x = 150 0.25 x = 600
b) (x 600) x 360 = 120 x 600 = 120 360 = 1/3 x = (1/3) x 600 = 200 c) (54 360) x 100 = 15%

QUESTION 1:
Complete the table to show how Nina spends her time in a day (24 HOURS). Use a protractor to create a circle graph / pie chart of the above information. Be sure to include a title. ACTIVITY School Break time Doing homework Resting sleeping

QUESTION 2:

A survey was conducted on what types of television programme people preferred. 30 people were interviewed and the results of the survey were as follows. Construct a pie chart.

1. Complete Table 1 to 3 2. Construct pie chart for Table 1 to 3 3. In Table 1, how many degrees represent 1 pupil? 4. In Table 2, which paper gets 25% of the sales? Hint; 25% is the same as a quarter. 5. In Table 3, what was Annas total amount of spending money? Which two items did Anna spend half of her money on?

BAR GRAPH EXERCISES: For every question (4 QUESTIONS) on pie chart / circle graphs, construct BAR CHARTS (please write the title of each bar graphs)

COMPONENT BAR CHARTS Example: The table below shows the quantity in hundred kgs of Wheat, Barley and Oat produced on a certain form during the years 1991 to 1994. Construct a component bar chart to illustrate this data

LINE GRAPH
A line graph is used to display data that show how one variable (the responding variable) changes in response to another variable (the manipulated variable). Number of Croaks vs. Temperature Air Temperature (celcius) 22 23 24 26 28 31 32 Frog Croaks (per minute) 12 14 15 16 17 21 26

Tips for Creating Line Graphs

1. On graph paper, draw a horizontal, or x-, axis and a vertical, or y-, axis. 2. Label the horizontal axis with the name of the manipulated variable. Label the vertical axis with the name of the responding variable. Include the units of measure. 3. Create a scale on each axis by marking off equally-spaced numbers along the axis. Begin with zero or a number slightly less than the smallest number to be graphed. Be sure that each scale covers the entire range of data collected for that variable. Label the units on each scale. 4. Plot each point where the variables intersect. You can do this by following an imaginary line up from the measurement on the x-axis. Then follow a second imaginary line across from the corresponding measurement on the y-axis. Place a dot where the two lines intersect. 5 Consider whether you will plot from point to point or make a best t graph. If you plot from point to point, each segment connecting two adjacent points should be straight. If you make a best t graph, the connecting line should be smooth. 6. Give your graph a title that identify the variables or the relationship between the variables in the graph. On the next slide, Number of Frog Croaks at Different Temperatures is a complete title that clearly describes this graph.

Use a sheet of graph paper to make a graph of the data given below. Then answer the questions.

1. On a sheet of graph paper, make a line graph of the data the group collected. 2. What does the graph tell you about the temperature of the substance at different times during the investigation?
