#Module 6: Biostatistics-I

Spotter 1

Construct pie chart from the following data. (2) Male=40 Female=50 Transgender=10

Given data:

  • Male = 40

  • Female = 50

  • Transgender = 10

Step 1: Find total population

Total=40+50+10=100

Step 2: Calculate percentage for each category

  • Male: 40×100=40%

  • Female: 50×100=50%

  • Transgender: 10×100=10%

Step 3: Convert percentage to degrees for pie chart

Angle=Percentage×360/100

  • Male: 40×360/100=144∘40

  • Female: 50×360/100=180∘50

  • Transgender: 10×360/100=36∘10

Step 4: Draw the pie chart

  • Draw a circle.

  • Use a protractor to mark the angles from the center:

    • Male: 144°

    • Female: 180°

    • Transgender: 36°

  • Shade each section differently and label them.

2. Mention the formulae to calculate mean, median, and standard deviation. (1.5)

Spotter 4

1. Write the name of the given diagram. (1)
Pie Chart

2. Mention its application. (1)

  • Representation of categorical data as proportions or percentages of a whole

  • Useful for visualizing distribution of variables such as gender, age groups, occupation, or any other part-to-whole relationship

  • Commonly used in epidemiology, public health, surveys, and statistics to present data clearly and quickly

Spotter 5

1. Write the name of the given diagram. (1)
Histogram

2. Mention its application. (1)

  • Representation of continuous data using frequency distribution

  • Useful to visualize the shape of data, such as normal distribution, skewness, or variability

  • Commonly used in epidemiology, statistics, and research to show how often values occur within intervals
