To create a pie chart, we need to first calculate the total number of responses and then determine the percentage for each response category. Here’s how you can do that step by step:
-
Calculate Total Frequency: \[ \text{Total Frequency} = 712 + 859 + 3225 + 9124 = 13920 \]
-
Calculate Percentages:
- For "Very likely": \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{712}{13920} \right) \times 100 \approx 5.1% \text{ (rounded to 5%)} \]
- For "Fairly likely": \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{859}{13920} \right) \times 100 \approx 6.2% \text{ (rounded to 6%)} \]
- For "Not too likely": \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{3225}{13920} \right) \times 100 \approx 23.1% \text{ (rounded to 23%)} \]
- For "Not likely": \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{9124}{13920} \right) \times 100 \approx 65.6% \text{ (rounded to 66%)} \]
-
Summary of Percentages:
- Very likely: 5%
- Fairly likely: 6%
- Not too likely: 23%
- Not likely: 66%
-
Constructing the Pie Chart:
- You can use a pie chart tool (like Excel, Google Sheets, or an online pie chart generator) to create the pie chart with the data you've compiled.
Example of Creating the Pie Chart in Excel:
-
Open Excel and enter the data in two columns, one for the response label and the other for the percentage.
| Response | Percentage | |-------------------|------------| | Very likely | 5 | | Fairly likely | 6 | | Not too likely | 23 | | Not likely | 66 |
-
Select your data.
-
Go to the "Insert" tab.
-
Choose "Pie Chart" and select the style you prefer.
-
Adjust the chart title and labels as needed to enhance readability.
Your pie chart will visually represent the likelihood of losing a job among the surveyed adults based on the calculated percentages.
