Sagot :

Yes, it is appropriate to make a pie chart of these data.

Here’s why:

1. Expressed as Percentages: The data are presented in percentages, which directly shows the parts of a whole. This is ideally suited for a pie chart, which visually represents parts of a whole.

2. Grouped into Categories: The data are divided into distinct age categories, and each category has a corresponding percentage value. Pie charts are great for showing the proportion of each category in comparison to the whole.

Thus, both conditions suitable for using a pie chart are met:
- The data are expressed as percentages.
- The data are grouped into categories.

Therefore, using a pie chart to represent these data would be appropriate.
