Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that qualitative data refers to categorical data, which represents categories or groups rather than numerical values.
Recognize that to display qualitative data as percentages of a whole, the graph should visually represent parts of a total in a way that is easy to compare.
Recall that a pie chart is a circular graph divided into slices, where each slice represents a category's proportion relative to the whole dataset.
Note that other graphs like boxplots, scatterplots, and histograms are typically used for numerical data and do not effectively show parts of a whole for qualitative data.
Conclude that the pie chart is the most appropriate graph type to display qualitative data as percentages of a whole.
