Question

A pet store owner surveys his customers about the number of pets they own. The results are below:

One pet: 25 respondents
Two pets: 43 respondents
Three pets: 19 respondents
Four or more pets: 13 respondents

The owner wants to create a graph to highlight the percentage of owners who have two pets. Which graph is the best choice for the owner to use to represent the data?

Answer 1

For percentages, use a pie graph.

Answer 2

Pie chart is the best option to show the given data in graphical form.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the data of number of pets against their number of respondents and the owner wants to show the percentage of results of the survey in a graphical form.

So pie chart will be the best option here as they show categorical data which helps us to see what percentage of the whole each category constitutes.

Pie charts are best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole as they do not show changes over time.
