Reason Number of Responses
To support self/family 62
For extra money 18
For something different to do 12
Other 8
----------------------------------------------------------------

Construct a pie chart for the data and analyze the results. Draw a circle. Cut it into four slices with ratio 62, 18, 12, 8 – Results show most women work because they need the income for family of other purposes.

The sum of 62, 18, 12, 8 is 100.
.
Since a full circle is 360 degrees, you could think of your four pieces:
62, 18, 12, 8 as percentage of the full circle. That is:
The four slices are
62%, 18%, 12%, and 8%.
.
The four slices then are:
.62*360 = 223.2 degrees of the circle
.18*360 = 64.8 degrees of the circle
.12*360 = 43.2 degrees of the circle
.08*360 = 28.8 degrees of the circle
.
You can use a protractor to approximate the four slices.
