Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the given information and angles from the pie chart in Figure 1.

    Total number of pupils = 180.
    The angles for each hobby are:

    • Reading: 120∘120^\circ
    • Sports: 90∘90^\circ
    • Music: 60∘60^\circ The angle for Art is not explicitly given, so we calculate it: Angle for Art = 360∘−(120∘+90∘+60∘)=360∘−270∘=90∘360^\circ - (120^\circ + 90^\circ + 60^\circ) = 360^\circ - 270^\circ = 90^\circ.
  2. Determine the number of pupils for each hobby.

    The number of pupils for a hobby is calculated as Angle for hobby360∘×Total number of pupils\frac{\text{Angle for hobby}}{360^\circ} \times \text{Total number of pupils}.

    a)

    i) Reading:
    Number of pupils = 120∘360∘×180=13×180=60 pupils\frac{120^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 180 = \frac{1}{3} \times 180 = \boxed{\text{60 pupils}}

    ii) Sports:
    Number of pupils = 90∘360∘×180=14×180=45 pupils\frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 180 = \frac{1}{4} \times 180 = \boxed{\text{45 pupils}}

    iii) Music:
    Number of pupils = 60∘360∘×180=16×180=30 pupils\frac{60^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 180 = \frac{1}{6} \times 180 = \boxed{\text{30 pupils}}

    iv) Art:
    Number of pupils = 90∘360∘×180=14×180=45 pupils\frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 180 = \frac{1}{4} \times 180 = \boxed{\text{45 pupils}}

  3. Calculate the percentage of pupils whose hobby is each category.

    The percentage for a hobby is calculated as Angle for hobby360∘×100%\frac{\text{Angle for hobby}}{360^\circ} \times 100\%.

    b)

    i) Reading:
    Percentage = 120∘360∘×100%=13×100%=33.33%\frac{120^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 100\% = \frac{1}{3} \times 100\% = \boxed{33.33\%} (rounded to two decimal places)

    ii) Sports:
    Percentage = 90∘360∘×100%=14×100%=25%\frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 100\% = \frac{1}{4} \times 100\% = \boxed{25\%}

    iii) Music:
    Percentage = 60∘360∘×100%=16×100%=16.67%\frac{60^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 100\% = \frac{1}{6} \times 100\% = \boxed{16.67\%} (rounded to two decimal places)

    iv) Art:
    Percentage = 90∘360∘×100%=14×100%=25%\frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 100\% = \frac{1}{4} \times 100\% = \boxed{25\%}
