The table shows the results of a survey. Display the data in a circle graph.

The circle graph B matches the data in the table exactly. Here is a breakdown of the data it shows:

→ Fall: 48%
→ Winter: 16%
→ Spring: 29%
→ Summer: 20%

Therefore, Fall has the highest percentage (48%), it would take up the largest portion of the circle graph. The circle graph B matches this description exactly.

This circle graph incorrectly depicts the data
Fall Slice: While Fall is larger than Winter and Summer, it’s not significantly larger to represent 48%

Spring Slice: Spring appears larger than Winter, which contradicts the data (Winter has 16% and Spring has 29%)

This circle graph (the one you mentioned as correct) accurately represents the data
Fall Slice: The largest slice represents Fall (around 48%), which aligns with having the highest percentage

Other Slices: Winter, Spring, and Summer slices are all smaller than Fall, and their relative sizes somewhat correspond to their data percentages (Winter smallest, then Spring, then Summer)

This circle graph also misrepresents the data
Fall Slice: Fall is smaller than Spring and Summer, contradicting its 48% share

Spring and Summer Slices: Spring and Summer slices are larger than Fall, although Summer has a lower percentage (20%) than Spring (29%)

Similar to option C, this graph also inaccurately portrays the data
Fall Slice: Fall is again smaller than Spring and Summer, despite having the highest percentage (48%)

Spring Slice: The largest slice is Spring, which is incorrect according to the data

Option

B
