a. In a circle graph, a sector containing \( 72^{\circ} \) represents what percentage of the data? b. In a circle graph, \( 0.60 \% \) of data can be represented by a sector of how many degrees? a. A sector containing \( 72^{\circ} \) represents \( 20 \% \) of the data. (Round to the nearest percent as needed.) b. \( 0.60 \% \) of data can be represented by a sector of \( \square \) degrees.

Beyond the Answer
To find the percentage represented by the \( 72^{\circ} \) sector, you divide the degrees of the sector by the total degrees in a circle, which is \( 360^{\circ} \). So, \( \frac{72}{360} \times 100 \) gives you \( 20\% \) of the data—fun fact, this is also the same as finding out what part of a pizza you've eaten! For \( 0.60\% \) in degrees, you'll first need to convert that percentage into a fraction of the circle. Using the formula \( \text{Degrees} = \left(\frac{\text{percentage}}{100}\right) \times 360 \) leads us to \( \left(\frac{0.60}{100}\right) \times 360 = 2.16 \) degrees, which you can round to \( 2 \) degrees for simplicity! Looks like a mini slice of pie!
