A circle graph, also called a pie chart, shows how a set of data is divided into parts.

The entire circle contains 100% of the data.

Each sector, or slice, represents one part of the data set. The circle graph on the next slide shows the results of a survey about pet ownership. The graph makes it easy to see that half of the people surveyed have no pets.

Use the bar graph in the previous slide to answer the question.

Additional Example 1: Analyzing a Bar Graph

A. In which year did Democrats cast the fewest number of electoral votes?

The bar for 1988 is the shortest, so Democrats cast the fewest number of electoral votes in 1988.

Additional Example 1: Analyzing a Bar Graph

B. Marco claims that Republicans cast about twice as many electoral votes in 2004 as they did in 1996. Is his claim valid? Explain.

Yes. They cast about 150 electoral votes in 1996 and almost 300 in 2004.

Leon surveyed 30 people about pet ownership. The circle graph shows his results. Use the graph to answer each question.

Additional Example 2: Analyzing a Circle Graph

A. How many people own both cats and dogs?

Since 20% is 6 people, 10% is 3 people. 3 people own both cats and dogs.

Additional Example 2: Analyzing a Circle Graph

B. Maya claims that about 1/2 of the people surveyed do not own a cat. Is her claim valid? Explain.

No. The graph shows that 50% do not own pets and 20% own dogs only. In all, 70% do not own cats, and 70% > 1/2.
