DATA INTERPRETATION TUTORIAL : PIE CHART AND TABLES
1.PIE CHART
Pie charts are specific types of data presentation where the data is represented in the form
of a circle. In a pie chart, a circle is divided into various sections or segments such that
each sector or segment represents a certain proportion or percentage of the total.
In such a diagram, the total of all the given items is equated to 360 degrees and the
degrees of angles, representing different items, are calculated proportionately. The entire
diagram looks like a pie and its components resemble slices cut from a pie. The pie chart
is used to show the break-up of one continuous variable into its component parts.

TIPS FOR SOLVING PIE-CHART

1.

Start with the heading.

It tells you exactly what youre looking at, yet its amazing how many students skip the title of
the chart and the labels and go straight to the question-stem! Really slow down and examine
every tiny piece of writing on and around the pie chart fully before reading the question.
Whats the biggest slice? The smallest slice? How many slices total? What does each slice
represent? What can be readily inferred? Make sure there isnt any additional information
printed below the chart that may be required to solve.

2.

Dont confuse percents with numbers!

The pie chart may display numbers in each slice (17..1935, etc.) but these may or may not
be percentages. Look for the % symbol, or a note somewhere at the bottom of the pie chart
that explains what the numbers actually refer to a percent is always a fraction of 100, while a
real-world number is always a fraction of a real-world total.

3.

Round numbers up or down to make the math easier.

Just like in other SAT math questions, the answer choices may be far enough apart so that it is
somewhat easy to estimate. Rounding to the nearest whole number, percent, or fractional
equivalent can sometimes be the simplest way to solve. For example, 47.8% could become
50%, and 69% = 2/3. If youre pressed for time, approximation can help you eliminate four
choices faster than doing the math with the most-accurate values.

4.

Dont forget your knowledge of circles.

Just like in a Geometry question, we can always set up proportions based on part/whole ratios.
You might not need to use Circle properties for these Data Analysis questions, but its good
knowledge to have up your sleeve! A sector (or slice) of a pie chart is always part of the
entire area of the pie chart, and an arc of the pie chart is always part of the entire
circumference.
2.TABULAR PRESENTATION
A table is a set of data arranged in rows and columns and is one of the most common way
of putting information across to people. A table consists of several boxes with
information inside. The rst row and the rst column are generally used to denote the
titles. While any type of data can be presented in table form, that too in a very accurate
manner, interpreting the data in table form is more difficult and time consuming than the
other modes, all of which are basically pictorial or graphical in presentation.

TIPS ON SOLVING TABLE CHART PROBLEMS:

Read the data very carefully, as the smallest detail may change the meaning of the
question completely. Similarly, the instructions have to be understood carefully to
prevent wasting time in calculating data that is not required, and also to find out
exactly what is the answer that is sought.
Try to understand the data provided carefully, before jumping to answer the
questions. The questions are designed to be deceptive, and proper understanding
of the requirements is a must. If the Data provided is of the combined variety or if
there are more than one data table/charts/graphs, try to understand the relation
between the given tables.
For Example, one table may talk about absolute sales figures, while the other table
may talk of sales as a percentage of production. Hence, any question on excess
production or Goods in stock, will require data from both tables.
Be very careful of the units used in the tables, and the units in which the answers
(options) are provided. A mistake in the units may yield an entirely different
answer. Also be careful of whether the answer is required in decimal or
percentage. Such errors are common and easily avoidable.
