Question

the summer school teacher asked students which of the four lunch menu entree options was their favorite. which data display would best display the data?
a. stem - and - leaf plot
b. scatter plot
c. circle graph
d. segmented bar graph

Explanation:

• A stem - and - leaf plot is used to display numerical data distribution.
• A scatter plot shows the relationship between two numerical variables.
• A circle graph (pie chart) is ideal for showing the proportion of different categories (in this case, lunch menu entree options) relative to the whole.
• A segmented bar graph is used to compare the composition of different groups.

Since we want to show the proportion of students' favorite among the four lunch menu entree options (a categorical data with proportion relative to the whole), a circle graph is the best choice.

Answer:

C. Circle Graph
