FOX News coverage

Probability Level 2

Fox News did a survey, where potential voters were asked which candidates they backed, and they have the option to back multiple candidates. Fox News then recorded down the percentage of people that backed a candidate, and presented it in a pie chart. What is wrong with this graph?

Palin's first name is Sarah, not Back There is nothing wrong with this news coverage The percentages should add 100 We should not use a pie chart as one can back multiple candidates

The answer is because Fox news has 0 mathematicians/smart people. If sections overlap, a pi graph shouldn't be used.

In short, Fox news is stupid!
