(b) construct a circle graph of this information.

Answer:

Since there are multiple sub - questions, we will use the appropriate solution format for each. Let's start with question 3 (a) (assuming the main task is to construct a circle graph for question 3, and we can use the general method for constructing circle graphs):

Question 3: Construct a circle graph for accidental in - home poisonings

Step - by - Step Explanation:

1. Calculate the total number of cases:

The total number of cases is given as \(N = 900\).

1. Calculate the percentage for each location:

• For Kitchen: The number of cases \(n_{k}=369\). The percentage \(p_{k}=\frac{369}{900}\times100\% = 41\%\). The central angle \(\theta_{k}=\frac{369}{900}\times360^{\circ}=147.6^{\circ}\)
• For Bathroom: \(n_{b} = 189\). \(p_{b}=\frac{189}{900}\times100\%=21\%\). \(\theta_{b}=\frac{189}{900}\times360^{\circ} = 75.6^{\circ}\)
• For Bedroom: \(n_{r}=108\). \(p_{r}=\frac{108}{900}\times100\% = 12\%\). \(\theta_{r}=\frac{108}{900}\times360^{\circ}=43.2^{\circ}\)
• For Other location: \(n_{o}=234\). \(p_{o}=\frac{234}{900}\times100\%=26\%\). \(\theta_{o}=\frac{234}{900}\times360^{\circ}=93.6^{\circ}\)

1. Draw the circle graph:

• Draw a circle.
• Use a protractor to mark the central angles for each category (Kitchen, Bathroom, Bedroom, Other location) calculated above.
• Label each sector with the name of the location and its corresponding percentage.

Question 4: Construct a circle graph for the fast - food meal survey

Step - by - Step Explanation:

1. Calculate the total number of responses:

The total number of responses \(N=\ 97 + 616+398 + 126+23=1260\) (which is given, but we can verify it: \(97+616 = 713\), \(713+398=1111\), \(1111 + 126=1237\), \(1237+23 = 1260\))

1. Calculate the percentage for each meal:

• Breakfast: \(n_{b}=97\). \(p_{b}=\frac{97}{1260}\times100\%\approx7.7\%\). \(\theta_{b}=\frac{97}{1260}\times360^{\circ}\approx27.7^{\circ}\)
• Lunch: \(n_{l}=616\). \(p_{l}=\frac{616}{1260}\times100\%\approx48.9\%\). \(\theta_{l}=\frac{616}{1260}\times360^{\circ}\approx176.0^{\circ}\)
• Dinner: \(n_{d}=398\). \(p_{d}=\frac{398}{1260}\times100\%\approx31.6\%\). \(\theta_{d}=\frac{398}{1260}\times360^{\circ}\approx113.8^{\circ}\)
• Snack: \(n_{s}=126\). \(p_{s}=\frac{126}{1260}\times100\% = 10\%\). \(\theta_{s}=\frac{126}{1260}\times360^{\circ}=36^{\circ}\)
• None of the above: \(n_{n}=23\). \(p_{n}=\frac{23}{1260}\times100\%\approx1.8\%\). \(\theta_{n}=\frac{23}{1260}\times360^{\circ}\approx6.6^{\circ}\)

1. Draw the circle graph:

• Draw a circle.
• Use a protractor to mark the central angles for each meal category.
• Label each sector with the name of the meal and its corresponding percentage.

Question 5 (a): Construct a stem - and - leaf display for the student evaluation time data

Step - by - Step Explanation:

1. Identify the stems and leaves:

The data values are: 19, 23, 35, 16, 26, 12, 17, 15, 12, 18, 18, 19, 8, 12, 18, 22, 30, 21, 16, 44, 20, 15, 17, 19, 23
The stem will be the tens digit and the leaf will be the units digit.
Stems: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

• Stem 0: Leaf 8 (since 8 is a single - digit number, we can consider it as 08)
• Stem 1: Leaves 2, 2, 2, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9 (corresponding to 12, 12, 12, 15, 15, 16, 16, 17, 17, 18, 18, 18, 19, 19, 19)
• Stem 2: Leaves 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 6 (corresponding to 20, 21, 22, 23, 23, 26)
• Stem 3: Leaves 0, 5 (corresponding to 30, 35)
• Stem 4: Leaf 4 (corresponding to 44)

1. Construct the stem - and - leaf display:

Stem	Leaf
1	2, 2, 2, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9
2	0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 6
3	0, 5
4	4

Question 6 (a): Construct a stem - and - leaf display for the number of pills per day data

The data values are: 10, 6, 8, 15, 12, 7, 14, 10, 12, 8, 11, 9, 1, 7, 9, 5, 13, 15, 3, 6

1. Identify stems and leaves:

Stems: 0, 1

• Stem 0: Leaves 1, 3, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9 (corresponding to 1, 3, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9)
• Stem 1: Leaves 0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5 (corresponding to 10, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 14, 15, 15)

1. Construct the stem - and - leaf display:

Stem	Leaf
1	0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5

Question 7 (a): Construct a bar graph for Honolulu rainfall

1. Identify the variables:

The x - axis will be the month (Jan, Feb, March, April, May, June, July, Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec) and the y - axis will be the rainfall in inches.

1. Draw the bars:

For each month, draw a bar whose height corresponds to the rainfall amount. For example:

• Jan: Height corresponding to 4.20 inches
• Feb: Height corresponding to 2.26 inches
• March: Height corresponding to 3.08 inches
• April: Height corresponding to 1.16 inches
• May: Height corresponding to 0.86 inches
• June: Height corresponding to 0.32 inches
• July: Height corresponding to 0.60 inches
• Aug: Height corresponding to 0.76 inches
• Sept: Height corresponding to 0.67 inches
• Oct: Height corresponding to 1.41 inches
• Nov: Height corresponding to 2.89 inches
• Dec: Height corresponding to 3.64 inches

Question 8 (a): Construct a bar graph for the career survey

1. Identify the variables:

The x - axis will be the career (Doctor, Scientist, Military Officer, Lawyer, Athlete) and the y - axis will be the number of students.

1. Draw the bars:

• Doctor: Height corresponding to 60 students
• Scientist: Height corresponding to 50 students
• Military Officer: Height corresponding to 50 students
• Lawyer: Height corresponding to 30 students
• Athlete: Height corresponding to 10 students

(Note: For the circle graph construction in questions 4, 8 (b) and the conclusion - drawing parts in questions 5 (b), 6 (b), 7 (b), 8 (b), we can follow similar logical steps. For example, in question 7 (b), to determine the rainy season, we can look at the months with higher rainfall. November (2.89), December (3.64), January (4.20), February (2.26), March (3.08) and October (1.41) have relatively higher rainfall compared to the other months. So the rainy season is likely October - March (or November - April, depending on the threshold).)

Since the question is a collection of multiple sub - questions, and we have provided the construction methods for the main types of graphs (circle, stem - and - leaf, bar) as above. If you need more detailed answers for specific sub - questions (such as the conclusion - drawing parts), please let me know and I will provide more in - depth analysis.
