Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the nature of the data: when data represent parts of a whole, each category's contribution to the total is important.
Recall that a pie chart is designed to show proportions or percentages of a whole, making it easy to visualize how each part compares to others.
Consider other graph types: a scatter plot shows relationships between two variables, a histogram displays frequency distributions of numerical data, and a line graph shows trends over time.
Evaluate which graph best highlights the relative sizes of categories as parts of a whole; the pie chart segments the circle to represent these proportions clearly.
Conclude that the pie chart is the most appropriate graph type for displaying data representing parts of a whole.
