Pie Graph/Chart
* Shows the … of categorical data using a proportional pie image.
Data can be either … or … data, where the full circle represents all possible outcomes or occurrences.(Therefore a percentage of all total outcomes)
Pie Graph/Chart
* Shows the relative size or proportion of categorical data using a proportional pie image.
Data can be either quantity or frequency data, where the full circle represents all possible outcomes or occurrences. (Therefore a percentage of all total outcomes)
3D graphs – things you don’t do!
