Question

Draw a pie chart which indicates the total amount of time spent doing each activity. Include all 8 sections even if you have zero hours spent in the activity. This can be done by hand, or you produce a computerized pie chart. You will want a visual representation of where you time is being spend.

Pie chart specifics:
1. Present on a 35 Xl chortet or paper, making pie chart as LARGE as possble
3. Present the activities in this order (starting from the 'top' and going clock-wise and colour the pie pieces in the specified colour:
• Sleep - black
• Personal maintenance - blue
• Travel- white
• Paid Work- red
• School- orange
Fitness - yellow
Recreation - purple
• Volunteer Work - green
HERE COMES THE TRICKY PART, Math is required!
4. First:
To find the percentage of time for each of the 8 categories, total the number of
hours spent over the 3 days on that activity.
E.g. Tuesday recorded 8 hrs sleep, Wednesday recorded 8 hrs sleep, Thursday
recorded 8 hrs sleep = 8hrs × 3 days =24 total hrs of sleep
Second:
• To calculate the percentage of your time being spent on each activity.
Formula: Take the total number of hours in the activity and divide it by total number of hours monitored and then multiply by 100
E.g. Spent total of 24hrs in sleep category, monitored over 72 hrs.
24 tlsleep hours divided by 72 total hours monitored = 0.33 × 100 = 33% in Sleep category.
Complete the same thing for the remaining 7 categories. When you add the total percentages for each category you should add to 100%.
You do not have to show your work, just put the percentage number on each pie slice and the category name.
Analysis of results: Review the percentages in each category and identify which areas you are spending the most time with and if you deem it as high, what is the rationale for that, for those areas you deem as low (e.g. fitness), why is it low, and are you okay with that.

Answer 1

I don't have access to visual drawing tools to create a pie chart. However, I can provide instructions on how to create one based on the given information.

To create a pie chart based on the information provided, follow these steps:

Draw a large circle on a 35x35 chart or paper.

Divide the circle into 8 equal parts, starting from the top and going clockwise.

Label each part with the corresponding activity and color the pie pieces as follows:

Sleep: black

Personal maintenance: blue

Travel: white

Paid work: red

School: orange

Fitness: yellow

Recreation: purple

Volunteer work: green

Calculate the percentage of time spent on each activity as follows:

Add up the total number of hours spent on each activity over the three days.

Divide the total number of hours for each activity by the total number of monitored hours (72 hours).

Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Round the percentage to the nearest whole number.

Label each pie slice with the percentage and category name.

Analyze the results to determine which areas you are spending the most time on and whether you are comfortable with that distribution of time.

Remember, the sum of all percentages should add up to 100%.
