Which of the following is not true of pie chart?

  1. statistics of various items can be represented on a single diagram
  2. it is often difficult to compare the component parts
  3. data with wide extremes can be conveniently represented in a pie chart ✓
  4. it is easy to draw
Explanation

Pie charts work poorly when values are very different from each other. A tiny slice next to a huge one is hard to see and compare.

Pie charts are best when values are somewhat similar in size. Bar charts work better for data with wide extremes.

The statement about wide extremes being “convenient” is false.
