Search percents.
A pie chart is not appropriate because the study did not ask about utility apps.
A pie chart is not appropriate because not enough people were surveyed.
None of these options are correct.
A pie chart is not appropriate because these data do not represent all parts of a whole.
Smartphone users have many apps on their phones. Which ones do they say they must have? Provided is the percentage of smartphone users who say they cannot go without Amazon and without Google Search by age group.
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|}
\hline Age group & Amazon & Google Search \\
\hline 18 to 34 years & 35 & 11 \\

Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the context of the question
The question asks why it is not correct to make a pie chart for the Amazon or Google Search percentages. The data provided shows the percentage of smartphone users who say they cannot go without Amazon and Google Search, categorized by age groups.
Step 2: Analyze the nature of the data
The data represents percentages of smartphone users who consider Amazon and Google Search as essential apps. These percentages are broken down by age groups: 18–34 years, 35–54 years, and 55 years and over. The percentages for Amazon and Google Search are separate and do not sum up to 100% for any age group.
Step 3: Evaluate the appropriateness of a pie chart
A pie chart is used to represent parts of a whole, where the sum of all parts equals 100%. In this case, the percentages for Amazon and Google Search do not represent parts of a whole because they are independent of each other and do not sum to 100%. Therefore, a pie chart is not appropriate for this data.
Final Answer
The correct description is: A pie chart is not appropriate because these data do not represent all parts of a whole.
\\(\boxed{\text{A pie chart is not appropriate because these data do not represent all parts of a whole.}}\\)
