Pie Chart

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable mentioned in this case is categorical. That is, it has no numerical value, and can only be put into categories.

Some of the basic rule In statistics to represent data using charts are as follows:

•For categorical variables (nominal/ordinal) variables, use pie charts and bar charts

•For interval/ratio variables, use histograms

A pie chart is a circular chart divided into wedge-like portions and is basically used to display percentage or proportion of categories in the data The percentage represented by each category is shown by the corresponding slice/portion of the whole pie.
