Statistical charts and diagrams — practice question

Kim and Tom question a group of students about whether they prefer Chemistry, Biology or Physics. Kim plots the bars for Biology and Physics on a bar chart. The vertical axis is labelled 'Number of students' and goes from 0 to 10. The Biology bar reaches 9 students. The Physics bar reaches 7 students. Tom plots the Chemistry sector on a pie chart labelled 'Chemistry', with an angle of 120^{\circ}.

(a(ii))[4]
