  • PIE CHART - Data Visualization for Businesses

    889 Words  | 2 Pages

    Pie Chart. The standard pie chart shows parts and their relationship to the whole. Pie charts are always based on a circle, since the circle provides a true visual concept of the whole hundred percent. The parts or ¡§pies¡¨ of the chart represent percentages of the whole. The Exploded Pie Chart is nearly identical to the standard with the exception that one ¡§pie¡¨ is visually separated from the rest for emphasis. Pie charts are created with the help of a compass, protractor, circle stencil, can or

    that I obtained were percentage increase or decrease in the length of the potato. I used the following instruments to collect my results: Cork Borer (size 5), Measuring cylinder x2, Test Tube rack, Three test tubes, Vernier Calipers, Scalpel, White Tile, Brush. No attempt at great accuracy was made. The experiment was only an indication of what length of potato chip `I should use. I decided to use the three cm lengths of potato chip because it gave a bigger percentage change therefore I

  • Tennis Ball Investigation

    ball has been lifted to the height of the drop. The more G.P.E the ball has a the start of the drop (point A), the more energy is converted to kinetic energy while the ball is dropping and then to elastic potential energy (E.P.E) while it is static on the floor (point B). At this point the ball looses a percentage of its energy to sound and heating the floor. I know that it is a percentage of its energy that it looses rather than a fixed amount because I know that the more energy the ball

    not have a problem with this; lets just keep it in perspective. Finally, manufacturers cannot just claim something is "Made in the USA." The Federal Trade Commission has specific criteria for what percentage of the parts must be made and sourced in the USA. There have been years where a larger percentage of a Honda Goldwing was USA made and sourced than a Harley Davidson. Everyone wants to think their motorcycle is "the best." I have owned several different brands of motorcycles. I would not

    impure citric acid required to neutralise a known volume of 1.0 M sodium hydroxide. Consequently, by calculating the correct volume of pure citric acid that would be required to neutralise this volume of sodium hydroxide, I can calculate the percentage purity of the citric acid. Calculating the Amount of Citric Acid ------------------------------------- In order to make this experiment a good titration, I must use a reasonable amount of citric acid. This is so that the amount of citric

Often Foreign women, portray many of the qualities American women out-grew in the ever-increasing crunch for liberation of freedoms. Another difference would be in outward

  • Determining The Ratio Of Circumference To Diameter Of A Circle

    ratio from the accepted ratio. After I had the error I could go on to find the percentage error. The equation I used was, error divided by the accepted ratio times 100. For example, if I took the error of the experimental ratio for the paper towels, which was 0.12. I took that and divided it by the accepted ratio giving me .03821651. Then I multiplied that by 100 giving me about 3.14. Using these steps I found the percentage error for all of the objects measured. The next step was to graph the results

    $100 billion in new wealth accumulates each year. On each of his stays, he would play a game with randomly selected students where 10 metal nuts in a bowl represented ‘extra credit’. The students would then take the nuts for a single extra credit point. In this, he promised to double the amount of nuts left in the bowl every 10 seconds. Hypothetically, the game could last forever yielding limitless rewards as the students took turns taking a nut from the bowl. However Dr. Edney determined that 65

    concentration and water potential of each tissue. The sucrose solution was extrapolated from graph 1, which shows the percentage change of mass of the tissues when immersed in the different sucrose solutions. A line of best fit was drawn, where the line of best fit intercepts the x-axis (concentration of sucrose solution) is the sucrose concentration of the tissue because at this point there is no mass loss of gain (read off of y-axis). The water potential of each tissue was read off of graph 2

  • Philanthropy and Elite Social Stratification in America

  • Sodium Thiosulphate & Acid

    solution will turn 'milky.' My Prediction The stronger the solution, therefore the more Thiosulphate particles, the quicker the reaction because; there will be more particles in the solution to react with the Hydrochloric Acid, with a bigger percentage chance of reacting/hitting it. This is because if there is more particles in the total substance of 75ml, there is less surface area free. Twice the amount of particles, in the same total volume, means twice the chance of collision therefore

  • Estimation of Chlorine in Household Bleach

    995 Words  | 2 Pages

    determine the amount of chlorine present in household bleach. However, in order to do this I would have to calculate the mass represented by chlorine in the mass of the household bleach. After doing that, I would then have to represent this as a percentage. In order to calculate the mass represented by the chlorine in the mass of the household bleach, I would have to titrate this solution, along with an excess of potassium iodide and ethanoic acid against sodium thiosulphate from the burette

    human mind has telepathic ability. To prove this, the subjects were asked to guess the suit of each card from a standard playing deck. The subjects were tested in a cozy, quiet environment inside their house. The first data recorded were the percentage of cards the subjects would randomly guess right. There are 52 cards in a deck and thirteen of each suit, so that would give someone a 13 out of 52 chance of merely guessing right or one-fourth. During the test, the subjects were instructed to
