3.3 Pie Diagram
• It is drawn to represent the total value of the given
element using a circle.
• Also called - Divided Circle Diagram.
– While dividing the circle into corresponding degrees of
angle then represent the sub– sets of the data.
• The angle of each variable is calculated using the
following formulae:
Value of one component
Total Value of all the component
X 360
Working procedure
• The surface area of a circle covers 360 Degree
or 2μ radius.
• Plot a circle, the angle of circle totals 360 ͦ .
• Convert the given values of component in
percentage of the total value.
• Change the various component values
correspondence to the degree of on the circle.
Working procedure
• Since 100 % is represented by 360 angle
the centre of the circle,
– Therefore 1 % value is represented by
360 /100 = 3.6 º
– If 5% of certain component, the angle which
represent the percentage of that value is
3.6 º x 5 = 15 º in circle.
Value of one component
Total Value of all the component X 360
Working procedure
