Let's solve this step-by-step based on the information provided in the image.

Step 1: Understand the Data
The table shows the number of people who chose each sport as their favorite. The data is represented using tally marks:
-
Football: |||| || (5)
-
Baseball: ||| (3)
-
Tennis: || (2)
-
Basketball: |||| |||| |||| |||| (4 groups of 5 = 20)
-
Hockey: |||| |||| |||| |||| |||| (5 groups of 5 = 25)
Wait — let’s count carefully:
- Football: 5 tally marks →
5
- Baseball: 3 →
3
- Tennis: 2 →
2
- Basketball: 4 groups of 5 (each group is "||||") → 4 × 5 =
20
- Hockey: 5 groups of 5 → 5 × 5 =
25
So total number of people surveyed:
5 + 3 + 2 + 20 + 25 = 55

Step 2: Calculate Percentages for Each Sport
We need to find the percentage of the circle that each sport represents:
-
Football: (5 / 55) × 100 ≈
9.09%
-
Baseball: (3 / 55) × 100 ≈
5.45%
-
Tennis: (2 / 55) × 100 ≈
3.64%
-
Basketball: (20 / 55) × 100 ≈
36.36%
-
Hockey: (25 / 55) × 100 ≈
45.45%
Check: 9.09 + 5.45 + 3.64 + 36.36 + 45.45 =
100% ✔

Step 3: Convert Percentages to Degrees
A full circle has 360°, so multiply each percentage by 360:
-
Football: 9.09% × 360 ≈
32.7°
-
Baseball: 5.45% × 360 ≈
19.6°
-
Tennis: 3.64% × 360 ≈
13.1°
-
Basketball: 36.36% × 360 ≈
130.9°
-
Hockey: 45.45% × 360 ≈
163.6°
Check: 32.7 + 19.6 + 13.1 + 130.9 + 163.6 =
360° ✔

Step 4: Draw the Circle Graph (Pie Chart)
Now, use a protractor to draw sectors in the circle:
1. Start at any point (e.g., top).
2. Draw a radius.
3. Use the protractor to measure and mark each angle:
-
Hockey: 163.6° — largest slice
-
Basketball: 130.9°
-
Football: 32.7°
-
Baseball: 19.6°
-
Tennis: 13.1°
4. Label each sector with the sport name and possibly the percentage or number.

Step 5: Final Answer
✔ Answer Summary:
- Total responses:
55
-
Hockey: 25 (45.45%) → 163.6°
-
Basketball: 20 (36.36%) → 130.9°
-
Football: 5 (9.09%) → 32.7°
-
Baseball: 3 (5.45%) → 19.6°
-
Tennis: 2 (3.64%) → 13.1°

Instructions for Drawing:
1. Draw a circle.
2. Use a protractor to draw each sector starting from a fixed point.
3. Label each section clearly.
4. Optionally, include percentages or numbers inside each slice.
This completes the
circle graph (pie chart) based on Patty's survey.
