Question

George asked 100 people to name a holiday on which gifts are given.

35 people answered Christmas.

34 people answered birthdays.

18 people answered Valentine’s Day.

8 people answered Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.

5 people answered anniversary.

If George makes a circle graph to represent the data, how many degrees will the sector representing the response of Christmas be?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the angle of the sector representing the response of Christmas, we need to first calculate the total number of people surveyed who mentioned Christmas as a holiday on which gifts are given.

35 people answered Christmas

Next, we calculate the total number of people surveyed:

35 (Christmas) + 34 (birthdays) + 18 (Valentine’s Day) + 8 (Mother’s Day/Father’s Day) + 5 (anniversary) = 100

So, the sector representing Christmas will cover:

(35/100) x 360 degrees = 126 degrees

Therefore, the sector representing the response of Christmas will cover 126 degrees.
