1) the = at the start tells the spreadsheet to start a calculation, 2) clicking the cell means if input data chances, outputs auto-update

Clockwise - Clockwise is the direction that the hands of an analogue clock travel
Pie chart - A pie chart (pie graph) is a circular graph where sectors represent different groups proportionally.
Frequency - The frequency is the number of times an event occurs; or the number of individuals (people, animals etc.) with some specific property.
Angle - An angle is a measure of turn, it is often displayed as the rotation between two line segments.
Sector - A sector is the region formed between two radii and their connecting arc.
