Problem Analysis:
The task involves analyzing two types of graphs: a bar graph and a pie chart. The bar graph shows monthly attendance at a movie theater, while the pie chart shows the distribution of different types of movies (Action, Comedy, Drama, Romance, Documentary) in terms of their popularity.
Additionally, there is a table provided that lists the number of movies seen each month for different genres (Action, Drama, Comedy, Romance). You are asked to create a bar graph and a pie chart based on this data.

Step-by-Step Solution:
####
Part 1: Analyzing the Given Bar Graph and Pie Chart
1.
Which month had the greatest movie attendance?
- From the bar graph, the height of the bars represents the attendance for each month.
- The tallest bar corresponds to
August.
-
Answer: August
2.
What was the most popular kind of movie?
- From the pie chart, the size of each slice represents the popularity of a movie genre.
- The largest slice corresponds to
Action.
-
Answer: Action
3.
What percentage of the movies were action films?
- From the pie chart, the "Action" slice appears to occupy roughly half of the circle.
- Since half of the circle represents 50%, the percentage of action films is approximately
50%.
-
Answer: 50%

Part 2: Creating a Bar Graph and a Pie Chart from the Table
The table provides data on the number of movies seen each month for different genres. We will use this data to create:
1. A bar graph showing the number of movies seen each month.
2. A pie chart showing the distribution of movie genres.
#####
Step 1: Summarize the Data
First, let's summarize the total number of movies seen each month and the total number of movies for each genre.
-
Total Movies per Month:
- Jan: \(2 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 3\)
- Feb: \(1 + 1 + 0 + 0 = 2\)
- Mar: \(1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1\)
- Apr: \(0 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 1\)
- May: \(0 + 1 + 0 + 0 = 1\)
- Jun: \(2 + 1 + 0 + 0 = 3\)
- Jul: \(0 + 1 + 1 + 0 = 2\)
- Aug: \(3 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 8\)
- Sep: \(0 + 1 + 0 + 0 = 1\)
- Oct: \(1 + 1 + 1 + 0 = 3\)
- Nov: \(0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0\)
- Dec: \(3 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 4\)
-
Total Movies per Genre:
- Action: \(2 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0 + 3 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 3 = 13\)
- Drama: \(0 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 = 9\)
- Comedy: \(1 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 = 8\)
- Romance: \(0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1\)
#####
Step 2: Create the Bar Graph
The bar graph should show the total number of movies seen each month. The x-axis represents the months, and the y-axis represents the number of movies.
-
Months and Corresponding Totals:
- Jan: 3
- Feb: 2
- Mar: 1
- Apr: 1
- May: 1
- Jun: 3
- Jul: 2
- Aug: 8
- Sep: 1
- Oct: 3
- Nov: 0
- Dec: 4
#####
Step 3: Create the Pie Chart
The pie chart should show the distribution of movie genres. The percentages are calculated as follows:
-
Total Movies: \(13 + 9 + 8 + 1 = 31\)
-
Percentage for Each Genre:
- Action: \(\frac{13}{31} \times 100 \approx 41.94\%\)
- Drama: \(\frac{9}{31} \times 100 \approx 29.03\%\)
- Comedy: \(\frac{8}{31} \times 100 \approx 25.81\%\)
- Romance: \(\frac{1}{31} \times 100 \approx 3.23\%\)

Final Answers:
1.
Which month had the greatest movie attendance?
\[
\boxed{\text{August}}
\]
2.
What was the most popular kind of movie?
\[
\boxed{\text{Action}}
\]
3.
What percentage of the movies were action films?
\[
\boxed{50\%}
\]
For the second part, you would need to create the bar graph and pie chart based on the summarized data above. If you need further assistance with creating these graphs, feel free to ask!
