Each segment represents a particular category. The area of each segment is the same proportion of a circle as the category is of the total data set.

EXAMPLE
In a school, there are 750 students in
year1, 420 students in year2 and 630 students in year3. Draw a circle graph to represent the numbers of students in these groups.

The Variance is defined as: The average of the squared differences from
the Mean.
To calculate the variance follow these steps: Work out the mean (the simple average of the

Your first step is to find the Mean: Answer: Mean = 600 + 470 + 170 + 430 + 300 = 1970 19705 = 394
