Percentage in frequency table does not match percentage in diagram

  • 1.  Percentage in frequency table does not match percentage in diagram

    Posted Mon November 27, 2023 08:47 AM

    Hello everyone, I am working with SPSS and would like to illustrate the gender distribution using a pie chart. The frequency table shows me the following values, which add up to 100%.
    57,5
    37,0
    3,4
    2,1

    However, my pie chart now shows 36.99% instead of 37.0%. Does anyone know what could be the reason for this?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    The numbers you show are rounded to one decimal place.  The rounded values might not add up to the exactly computed total.  Increase the number of decimals shown to  see the exact total.
