Topic: Data Presentation – Pie Charts

Statistics: 

  1. Data presentation 2. Ranking 3. Frequency table 4. Pie chart 

Statistics is the study of the collection, presentation, and interpretation of data. Data presentation Ranking order: means from highest to the lowest or from lowest to highest e.g. 10, 9, 8, 8, 7, 7, 6, 6 are in ranking order. The rank is the arrangement of data in either ascending or descending order. A frequency table is a table that shows the number of times each value appears e.g marks 10 9 8 7 6 Frequency 1 1 3 2 2 

Eg . 1 Some MGJSS students score these grades in mathematics tests C, B, D, A, C, C, E, B, D, F, B, D, E, C, A, C, D, B Rank order A, A, B, B, B, B, C, C, C, C, C, D, D, D, D, E, E, F Frequency table Grade A B C D E F Frequency 2 4 5 4 2

PIE CHART To draw the pie chart the angle of the sector must be calculated Total number of students 18 A = 2/18 x 360/1 = 400 B = 4/18 x 360/1 = 80 C = 5/18 x 360/1 = 100 D = 4/18 x 360 = 80 E = 2/18 x 360 = 40 F = 1/18 x 360 = 20 With protractor draw the pie chart

Class Activity 

The table below shows vehicles involved in serious accidents in Abuja Vehicle Car Lorry Bus Taxi Others Frequency 4 9 1 6 4 

  1. How many vehicles were recorded 
  2. Which type of vehicle had the worst record 
  3. Which type of vehicle had the safest record Draw a bar chart Represent in a pie chart General Questions Data below shows the shoe size of men Shoe size 6 7 8 9 10 Frequency 4 5 9 4 2 A 40 B 80 C 100 D 80 E 40 F 20 PIE CHART 
  4. How many men are in the group? If you own a shoe shop, which size of shoes will you order most Draw a pictogram Draw a bar chart Draw a pie chart 
  5. The scores of students in a CA are as follows 3,0,5,2,1,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,1,2,0,3,2,1,2 Prepare a frequency tally table How many students have the highest mark How many students have the lowest mark 
  6. In Abuja the numbers of bedrooms in every 50 houses chosen at random are as follows 2, 5, 3, 5, 4, 7, 6, 3, 7, 4, 6, 3, 4, 3, 2, 5, 3, 5, 6, 6, 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 7, 5, 3, 5, 1, 3, 5, 3, 3, 4, 2, 4, 5, 3, 3, 2, 1, 3, 4, 3, 1, 2, 4, 0, 3, 

Prepare a frequency table of the distribution 

Represent on a bar chart and pie chart which numbers of the bedrooms are most frequent and Which number of the bedrooms are least frequent
