• Solves routine and non-routine problems using

data presented in a pie graph.

Lesson 3: Understanding Pie Graph

What is a Pie Chart?

A pie chart displays data, information, and statistics in an easy-to-read 'pie-


slice' format with varying slice sizes telling you how much of one data ele-
ment exists. The bigger the slice, the more of that particular data was gath-
ered.
The “pie chart” is also known as “circle chart”, that divides the circular sta-
tistical graphic into sectors or slices in order to illustrate the numerical prob-
lems. Each sector denotes a proportionate part of the whole. To find out
the composition of something, Pie-chart works the best at that time. In
most cases, pie charts replace some other graphs like the bar graph, line
plots, histograms, etc.

Formula

The pie chart is an important type of data representation. It contains differ-


ent segments and sectors in which each segment and sectors of a pie
chart forms a certain portion of the total (percentage). The total of all the
data is equal to 360°.

The total value of the pie is always 100%.

To work out with the percentage for a pie chart, follow the steps given be-
low:

• Categorize the data

• Calculate the total

• Divide the categories

• Convert into percentages

• Finally, calculate the degrees

therefore, the pie chart formula is given as

(Given Data/Total value of Data) × 360°


How to Create a Pie Chart?
Imagine a teacher surveys her class on the basis of their favorite Sports:

Football Volleyball Soccer Basketball Badminton

10 5 5 10 10

The data above can be represented by a pie-chart as following and by using the
circle graph formula, i.e. the pie chart formula given below. It makes the size of
portion easy to understand.

Step 1: First, Enter the data into the table.

Football Volleyball Soccer Basketball Badminton

10 5 5 10 10

Step 2: Add all the values in the table to get the total.
I.e. Total students are 40 in this case.
Step 3: Next, divide each value by the total and multiply by 100 to get a per cent

Football Volleyball Soccer Basketball Badminton

(10/40) × 100 (5/ 40) × 100 (5/40) ×100 (10/ 40) ×100 (10/40)× 100

=25% =12.5% =12.5% =25% =25%

Step 4: Next to know how many degrees for each “pie sector” we need, we will
take a full circle of 360° and follow the calculations below:
The central angle of each component = (Value of each component/sum of values
of all the components)✕360

Football Volleyball Soccer Basketball Badminton

(10/ 40)× 360° (5 / 40) × 360° (5/40) × 360° (10/ 40)× 360° (10/ 40) × 360°

=90° =45° =45° =90° =90°


Now you can draw a pie chart.
Step 5: Draw a circle and use the protractor to measure the degree of each
sector.

Volleyball

Soccer

Examples
A pie chart can be used to represent the relative size of a variety of data such
as:
• The type of houses (1bhk, 2bhk, 3bhk, etc.) people have
• Types of 2 wheelers or 4 wheelers people have
• Number of customers a retail market has in all weekdays
• Weights of students in a class
• Types of cuisine liked by different people in an event

Uses of Pie Chart


• when you want to create and represent the composition of something.
• It is very useful for displaying nominal or ordinal categories of data.
• To show percentage or proportional data.
• When comparing areas of growth within a business such as profit.
Pie charts work best for displaying data for 3 to 7 categories.
How to Read Pie Charts

Reading a pie chart is as easy as figuring out which slice of an actual pie is the
biggest. Usually, you have several bits of data, and each is pictured on the pie
chart as a pie slice. You will see that some data have larger slices than others. So
you can easily decipher which data is more important to your audience than
others.

For the pet ownership pie chart, I can easily see that rodents make up the small-
est number of pets. So, what this tells me is that for pet owners, when choosing
pets, rodents are at the bottom of their list. That's not to say that rodents make
the worst pets, but the data shows that pet owners prefer dogs first and foremost,
followed by cats, then fish, then rabbits, then rodents.
