The data presented in Table 6 represent the educational attainment of residents of the United States 25
Question:
The data presented in Table 6 represent the educational attainment of residents of the United States 25 years or older in 2013, based on data obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau. The data are in thousands. Construct a pie chart of the data.
Approach The pie chart will have one part or sector corresponding to each category of data. The area of each sector is proportional to the frequency of each category. For example, from Table 5, the proportion of all U.S. residents 25 years or older who are not high school graduates is 0.1185. The category “not a high school graduate” will make up 11.85% of the area of the pie chart. Since a circle has 360 degrees, the degree measure of the sector for this category will be 10.11852360° 43°. Use a protractor to measure each angle.
