Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the relative frequencies as percentages and then create a pie chart.
Step 1: Calculate the total frequency
The total frequency is the sum of all the frequencies provided:
Step 2: Compute the relative frequency for each grade
The relative frequency as a percentage is calculated as:
-
Grade A:
-
Grade B:
-
Grade C:
-
Grade F:
Step 3: Tabulate the results
The completed table looks like this:
Grade | Frequency | Relative % Frequency |
---|---|---|
A | 2 | 8.33% |
B | 8 | 33.33% |
C | 10 | 41.67% |
F | 4 | 16.67% |
Step 4: Create the pie chart
Each percentage corresponds to an angle in the pie chart:
- Grade A:
- Grade B:
- Grade C:
- Grade F:
I will now generate a labeled pie chart based on this data. matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Data for the pie chart
labels = ['A (8.33%)', 'B (33.33%)', 'C (41.67%)', 'F (16.67%)'] sizes = [8.33, 33.33, 41.67, 16.67] colors = ['gold', 'lightblue', 'lightgreen', 'salmon'] explode = (0.1, 0, 0, 0) # Slightly explode the first slice for emphasis
Create the pie chart
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8)) plt.pie(sizes, labels=labels, colors=colors, explode=explode, autopct='%1.1f%%', startangle=140) plt.title('Distribution of Grades') plt.axis('equal') # Equal aspect ratio ensures the pie chart is circular. plt.show()Here is the completed pie chart showing the distribution of grades. Each slice is labeled with the grade and its relative percentage for clarity.
