Describe the most appropriate use of pie charts, including type(s) of variables and numbers of classes.

What will be an ideal response?


Pie charts are to be used only with categorical data. It is wise for a pie chart to be used with variables that do not contain many categories or groups. Generally five or fewer groups is the norm for use in a pie chart. Pie charts are based on percentages with the entire “pie” representing 100% and the “slices” sized according to their level of contribution to that total.
