Greenhouse gases trap heat and make the planet warmer. Human activities are responsible for
almost all of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the last 150 years. In this part,
you will draw two pie graphs. A pie graph is used to show how a certain quantity has been divided
into several parts, as well as to show the comparisons among these parts.
1. The data table below shows the total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by economic sector in 2013,
in million metric tons of CO2.
On the pie graph provided, complete the graph to show the percent of greenhouse gas emissions
for each economic sector. Label each section of the pie graph with its economic sector. The
percent for "Agriculture" has been drawn and labeled for you.

The following graph indicates the relationship between income the survey subjects earned and the price of the car that they purchased. The variable shown on the vertical axis is __________ (options: thousands of dollars per car, thousands of dollars per year, income, thousands of dollars, price, number of goods). The units for the variable on the horizontal axis are _________ (options: thousands of dollars per car, thousands of dollars per year, income, thousands of dollars, price, number of goods). There are two ways to view the information presented on the graph. First, the graph tells us the amount a person with a certain income is likely to spend on a car, and second, it tells us the probable income of a person who spent a certain amount on a car.
