Question

carlos is heading a student council project to improve cafeteria meals. he surveyed all students who eat cafeteria lunches to find out which of the five weekly cafeteria options they like least. what steps should carlos take to best display this data? he should total the votes for each of the options and plot these five values in a pie chart. he should total the votes for each of the options and plot these five values in a line graph. he should average the votes for each of the options and list the averages in a data table. he should analyze the votes for each option and summarize the findings in a paragraph.

Explanation:

A pie - chart is useful for showing the proportion of different categories relative to the whole. Since Carlos wants to see which of the five cafeteria options is least liked among all the options, totaling the votes for each option and plotting in a pie - chart will clearly show the relative popularity of each option. A line graph is better for showing trends over time, averaging votes and listing in a data table doesn't visually represent the relative popularity well, and summarizing in a paragraph is less visual than a chart.

Answer:

He should total the votes for each of the options and plot these five values in a pie chart.
