Ir's a total of 60%. (I wonder how the others voted.)
0.6 * 60 = 36
0.6 * 60 = 36

If a pie chart was created using the data from the table above, which selection of the chart would be the largest? the smallest? indicate the relative frequency amount as a decimal for both
Ms. Sue
The largest section would be the 40% that's not accounted for in the above statistics.
The smallest would be 2%.
Divide the percentages by 100 to get the decimal equivalents.
