3. Consider the following table and pie graph (pie chart) before answering the question. Assume that the values in the given table are correct.
Major Number of Seniors % of Seniors
Business 633 33
Computer Sci. 194 10
English 236 12
Biology 134 7
Psychology 40 2
Other majors 681 36
Total Number of Seniors 1918 100
Which of the following best describes the most serious problem with the pie chart?
A. The sizes of the pie wedges are incorrect because the business wedge is too large and the English wedge is too small.
B. The numbers shown in the pie chart for the selected majors do not match the numbers in the % column of the table for those selected majors.
C. The sizes of all the pie wedges are incorrect because an additional wedge must be included.
D. The numbers in the pie chart should be followed by "%" because the values are percentages.
