Group these data into a frequency distribution show-

2.18 Categorical distributions are often presented graphi-
cally by means of pie charts, in which a circle is
divided into sectors proportional in size to the fre-
quencies (or percentages) with which the data are
distributed among the categories. Draw a pie chart to
represent the following data, obtained in a study in
which 40 drivers were asked to judge the maneuver-
ability of a certain make of car:
Very good, good, good, fair, excellent, good. good,
good, very good, poor, good, good, good, good, very
