Answer 2

Garrison houses constitute 40%, Split houses 35%, and Cape houses 25% of the circle graph, leading to the final answer: b. Garrison - 40%, Split - 35%, Cape - 25%. This distribution aligns with the given data of house styles in a town with 25,000 houses. Thus the correct option is:b. Garrison - 40%, Split - 35%, Cape - 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The circle graph's percentages are aligned with the frequency distribution of house styles in the town. Garrison houses represent 40% of the total, split houses account for 35%, and Cape houses make up 25%. These percentages correspond to the given data of 10,000 Garrison houses (40%), 8,750 Split houses (35%), and 6,250 Cape houses (25%) out of a total of 25,000 houses in the town.

In detail, the circle graph visually represents the proportional distribution of house styles, with each segment's angle corresponding to its percentage. Garrison, being the most common house style, occupies the largest portion at 40%, followed by Split houses at 35%, and Cape houses at 25%.

The circle graph serves as an effective visualization tool, allowing quick interpretation of the distribution of house types in the town. Therefore, the correct answer is option b, as it accurately reflects the proportions of Garrison, Split, and Cape houses as represented by the circle graph.
