A sector is the region formed between two radii and their connecting arc.

A pie chart (pie graph) is a circular graph where sectors represent different groups proportionally.

Maths

In this unit, pupils began to compare two different sets of data. In the future unit, pupils will consider cumulative frequency graphs and histograms and compare the data from these diagrams to other graphical representations.

In the prior unit, pupils considered the mean, median and mode and evaluated their usefulness in a variety of contexts. In this unit, pupils extend this learning to comparing two different data sets and comparing these measures of central tendency.

Comparisons of numerical summaries of data

The table shows the number of people at Location 1 and their preferred way to cook potatoes. Calculate the size of the angle for roasted potatoes.

The same percentage of people (25%) voted for boiled at both Locations 4 and 5

A greater number of people voted for roasted in Location 5 than Location 4

A greater proportion of people voted for roasted in Location 5 than Location 4

Below are correctly drawn pie charts showing the preferred cooking methods for potatoes for people at Locations 4 and 5. Select the statements that may not be true.

True. The maximum angle that can be drawn is 180°.

True. The range of values is from 0 to 180.

False. You can split the angle into 180° plus the remaining angle.

False. You can draw any angle without any additional work required.

True or false? A protractor with a maximum angle of 180° cannot be used to draw an angle bigger than 180°.

Neither - they have the same number of pupils who walk to school.

In which school did more pupils walk to school?

300 pupils walk to Rowanwood school. If one quarter of the 400 pupils who attend Oakfield don't walk to school, which school has more pupils that walk to it?

Match the descriptions for amounts of rotation with the number of degrees each is equivalent to.
