Recycled garbage

 

Refer to the previous exercise. The following table gives the percent of the weight that was recycled for each of the categories.

(a) Use a bar graph to display the percent recycled for these materials. Use the order of the materials given in the table above.

(b) Make another bar graph where the materials are ordered by the percent recycled, largest percent to smallest percent.

(c) Which bar graph, (a) or (b), do you prefer? Give a reason for your answer.

(d) Explain why it is inappropriate to use a pie chart to display these data.

Exercise 24

Garbage. The formal name for garbage is “municipal solid waste.” Here is a breakdown of the materials that made up American municipal solid waste:

(a) Add the weights and the percents for the nine materials given, including “Other.” Each entry, including the total, is separately rounded to the nearest tenth. Therefore, the sum and the total may differ slightly because of roundoff error.

(b) Make a bar graph of the percents. The graph gives a clearer picture of the main contributors to garbage if you order the bars from tallest to shortest.

(c) If you use software, also make a pie chart of the percents. Comparing the two graphs, notice that it is easier to see the small differences among “Food scraps,” “Plastics,” and “Yard trimmings” in the bar graph.
