When objects need to be displayed in a way that demonstrates the hierarchical structure as well as amount or size, pyramid charts are the ideal choice. This can include positions in management, items sold, and business locations, among other things.

The percentage of elite players with arthritis $(0.1408)$is significantly greater than the percentage of players with arthritis in the other categories $(0.0419/0.0420)$As a result, it appears that top soccer and the development of arthritis are linked.
