Question

while creating a pie chart for a collection of data, the category executive has relative frequency 0.17. how large is the corresponding wedge in the pie chart, to the nearest degree?
□ degrees.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for pie chart angle

The total degrees in a pie chart is \(360^\circ\). To find the angle for a category, we multiply the relative frequency by \(360^\circ\).

Step2: Calculate the angle

Given relative frequency \( = 0.17\), so the angle \(= 0.17\times360^\circ\)
\(0.17\times360 = 61.2\)

Step3: Round to nearest degree

Rounding \(61.2\) to the nearest degree gives \(61\).

Answer:

61
