Introduction 

---

So, for a total frequency of 200, a segment which has 50 
observations in it will be represented by a 90° slice of pie.
Figure 3
shows the country of residence for tourist 
arrivals in Mauritius in 2012. As this shows, the largest 
percentage of tourists come from France. Very conveniently, 
Figure 3
 shows the actual percentages in each segment. Th
is 
is not always the case, but it is possible to make estimates 
from the relative sizes of each slice of the pie.
Students with access to Microsoft Excel will be able to 
produce a wide range of bar charts and pie charts with this 
soft ware.
Newspapers, websites and magazines such as 
Th
 e 
Economist
increasingly represent economic information 
in highly attractive ways, combining various forms of 
representation.
