Which type of chart display data in rings, where each ring represents a data series?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is option 1- Doughnut chart.
Doughnut charts display data in rings, where each ring represents a data series. For example, the inner ring represents gas tax revenues, and the outer ring represents property tax revenues.
It is similar to a pie chart but with a blank center. It is useful for showing proportional data across multiple categories and series. Single-series doughnut chart shows One ring whereas Multi-series doughnut chart (also known as a ring chart) shows Multiple concentric rings, each representing a different series.
OTHER OPTIONS
- Pie charts depict relative share of different elements. A pie chart represents multiple sub-groups of single variable.
- Bar charts are used to depict the comparison of absolute values of data (e.g. sales, production, etc.) at discrete points (e.g. time intervals, products, etc.). A bar diagram depicts two or more variables.
- Area chart is a type of chart that displays quantitative data graphically, combining elements of a line chart and stacked bar chart. It shows trends over time or categories by filling the area beneath the lines with color or shading.
