1. Using the University of Memphis roster and the Tennessee map, find the number of students from West Tennessee, Middle Tennessee, East Tennessee, and students from out of state. (Organize information in a frequency table.)

Example of Frequency Table

 

 

West

Middle

East

Out of State

Total

2. Using the information from No. 1, write the ratios (fractions), decimal equivalents, and percentages.

3. Draw a circle graph using this information.

(a) Using a compass, draw a circle. Mark the center with a point.

Draw a radius through this point.

(b) Find the measure of the four central angles.

To find the measure of a central angle ( m C):

m C = 360o x decimal equivalent

(c) Using a protractor, draw each angle. Label with category and percent.

 Skills • calculate fraction, decimal, and percent equivalence

• identify central angle

• construct circle graph

• use formula to calculate measure of central angles
