Investigate the Data
Use the survey results to answer Questions 1–8.
1.The visitors chose ride names rather than giving measurements or counts. Is favourite ride categorical data or numerical data?
- Categorical data
- Numerical data
2.How many visitors were surveyed altogether? Add the four ride counts.
3.Which ride is the mode, meaning the most popular answer in this survey?
4.Which two rides received the same number of votes, and how many votes did each receive?
5.More than half of the visitors chose either Thunder Coaster or Sky Wheel. Is this statement true or false? Use the counts to explain.
6.Harper wants to collect more categorical data from theme park visitors. Write one survey question that could be answered with categories, not a number.
7.Lachlan wants to know the most popular ride across the whole park. Which plan is likely to give more representative data?
- Ask 20 people waiting for the Sky Wheel.
- Ask visitors at different rides and areas of the park.
- Ask only Lachlan’s family.
8.Ivy asks 5 more visitors, and all 5 choose River Rapids. What would the new River Rapids count be? Would it then be the most popular ride?
