Is this pie chart misleading? Explain
Yes, the pie chart is misleading. Over-segmentation refers to the inclusion of too many categories, making it difficult to differentiate between segments and accurately interpret the data. With 15 categories, the pie chart becomes cluttered and the individual slices are hard to compare. This over-segmentation obscures meaningful insights and makes it challenging for viewers to understand the relative importance of each category.
