Chapter 6 Statistic Notes

Chapter 6 discusses diagrammatic presentations of data, focusing on bar diagrams and pie diagrams. Bar diagrams represent data with rectangular bars, varying in height or length based on frequency, and can be simple, multiple, sub-divided, percentage, or deviation types. Pie diagrams, on the other hand, show percentage values in a circular format, with total values always equaling 100%, and include steps for construction using absolute values converted to degrees.

It is a circle divided into various segments showing the per cent value of a series. This
diagram does not show absolute values. Total value of pie is always 100%

Steps for constructing pie diagram –


Step 1 – absolute values of the series are converted into per cent value.
Step 2 – convert these values into degrees.
Step 3 – show the degree value in the circle clockwise.
