Question 3.25: Represent the data given in Example 3.24 on a pie chart.

Represent the data given in Example 3.24 on a pie chart.

Year Number
employed in
general
engineering
(thousands)
Sector angle
1995 800 \left(\frac{800}{3535}\right) \times 360=81.5
1996 785  \left(\frac{785}{3535}\right) \times 360=80
1997 690  \left(\frac{690}{3535}\right) \times 360=70.3
1998 670  \left(\frac{670}{3535}\right) \times 360=68.2
1999 590  \left(\frac{590}{3535}\right) \times 360=60
Total 3535 360

Remembering that there are 360° in a circle and that the total number employed in general engineering (according to our figures) was 800 + 785 + 690 + 670 + 590 = 3535 (thousand), we manipulate the data as follows:

The resulting pie chart is shown in Figure 3.23.
