Answer 1

Based on the provided statements regarding the line plot and the circle graph, the following two statements are true:

1. A circle graph shows relative sizes of categories of data and is often used to show percentages of each category of data. - This statement accurately reflects the purpose of circle (or pie) graphs, which visually represent parts of a whole and often display data in terms of percentages.

2. The line plot provides a clearer, more detailed representation of this set of data. - Line plots are effective in showing individual data points and their frequencies, making them suitable for displaying precise details about specific values.

The other statements provided either mischaracterize the purpose of the graphs or make incorrect claims about their capabilities.
