Maria wanted to learn more about the birds that visit her backyard. she installed several bird feeders and offered a variety of bird seed mixes in order to attract a mix of species. for a month, she observed the bird feeders three times a day for an hour each day and counted the types of birds that she saw. then, she made a pie chart to represent her findings. what is the most likely reason that she chose a pie chart?

Marias data is a proportional data which can be effectively represented by a Pie chart.

Explanation:

Maria wants to present a data that would contain the following attributes

-  various types of birds coming at the birds feeder

It is a data set that will compare the varieties of bird that are part of total number of birds coming to the feeder.

Thus a pie chart will be used as it shows the relative contribution of different types/categories of birds that contribute to an overall total number of birds.

Maria's data is a percentage or proportional data and each category can be presented as  corresponding slice of pie.

thinking it would be physical characteristics
