41. Example 2
Refer to the table on page 7.
How many times as likely was a family to have an income
of less than $15,000 if the head of the household had
some high school, but no diploma rather than graduated
from high school?
44. What do we do?
Some High School Graduated from High School
45. What do we do?
Some High School Graduated from High School
28.2% + 14.5% =
46. What do we do?
Some High School Graduated from High School
28.2% + 14.5% =
42.7%
47. What do we do?
Some High School Graduated from High School
28.2% + 14.5% = 13.6% + 10.2% =
42.7%
48. What do we do?
Some High School Graduated from High School
28.2% + 14.5% = 13.6% + 10.2% =
42.7% 23.8%
49. What do we do?
Some High School Graduated from High School

No
58. 3a. Construct a circle graph of the areas
3b. If the areas of the continents were
measured in km2, would the circle graph for
area be different? Why or why not?
No
It is the same ratio.
Here the units do not matter

61. With our technology, circle graphs are usually made on
spreadsheets

3d. How do the circle graphs indicate which continents
have more people for their area?
Continents with more people for their area have larger
sectors on the population graph than the area graph
