Pie chart

In the previous post we have discussed about How to find Intersection and In today's session we are going to discuss about Pie chart. In statistics we use various kinds of graphs to summarize the numerical data in graphical format. Here we are going to discuss the Pie chart, besides bar graphs, histograms, stem plots, dot graph, box plots, pie chart is also one of the type of graph.
With the help of pie chart we can represent qualitative and quantitative both the type of data. Although it is used to show the categorical type of data. Pie charts are very effective to showing how the specific parts are associated in the whole distribution. In pie charts data are shown in the circular format. It means different types of data are shown in different sectors. For example below is the figure that describes following thing:-





The red color covering more area than purple and pink colors, this is showing population of China which is highest among all countries
After that the purple color covering more area than pink color but less than red color, this is showing population of India which is second highest among all countries.  (know more about Pie chart, here)
And in third one sector the pink color covering less area than red and purple colors, this is because, America is third country that has highest population.
So in above pie chart there are three types of data that is divided according to the population.
Using colors, labels, shades and pictures is a good habit at the time of designing pie chart, by doing this not only us but also everyone can understand the problem and problem solution easily. This approach makes the pie charts attractive. Pie charts are the visual comparisons of the distribution.


Scatter Plots are the type of mathematical diagram that is used to show the values of two variables. Maharashtra secondary board is very dedicated regarding SSC and HSC examinations.
