Solution

The degree measure of the sector representing the number of workers unemployed for 11 to 14 weeks is 10% of 360, or 36, for the manufacturing
industry graph and is 5% of 360$$^o$$, or 18$$^o$$, for the service industry graph.

Since 36$$^o$$−18$$^o$$=18$$^o$$, the measure of the central angle of that sector in the manufacturing industry graph is 18 greater than the measure of the central
angle of the corresponding sector in the service industry graph. The correct answer is Choice D.
