Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze each part of the question based on the pie chart provided:
(a) Which category was chosen by approximately one-fourth of those surveyed?
One-fourth (or 25%) would visually appear as the largest segment taking up about a quarter of the pie chart. In this chart, the segment labeled "Comedy" looks closest to one-fourth of the circle.
Answer: Comedy
(b) Approximately what percentage of those surveyed chose Other or Drama?
Looking at the "Other" and "Drama" sections, each of these segments appears to be around 10% of the pie chart.
Answer: 20% (10% for Other and 10% for Drama)
(c) If 32% of those surveyed chose News, approximately what percentage chose Comedy?
Since the chart indicates that "Comedy" is the largest section, which we previously estimated as about one-fourth (25%) in part (a), this might need adjustment if News is 32%. Given that Comedy seems comparable in size, Comedy would also likely be around 32%.
Answer: 32%
