Interpreting Statistical Information

Read the investigation and use its data and real-world setting to answer each question. When evaluating the claim, consider what the data can and cannot show.

Part A: Getting to a kura

A kura is reviewing whether to add secure bicycle and scooter parking. It asks students in Year 12 how they usually get to the kura. The survey is voluntary, and 48 students respond. The intended readers of the results are the kura’s facility planners and leadership team.

Walk — 14 students ■■■■■■■

Bicycle or scooter — 12 students ■■■■■■

Bus — 9 students ■■■■▌

Car — 13 students ■■■■■■▌

The claim

“More of the surveyed students use active transport than travel by bus or car, so the kura should consider adding secure bicycle and scooter parking.” Active transport here means walking, cycling, or travelling by scooter.

1.What was the investigation designed to find out, and who is most likely to use its findings?
2.Identify the population of interest and the sample that provided the data. State how the sample was gathered.
3.Explain why the kura might want to know how its students travel there. Give one practical way the results could be useful.
4.Name two variables represented in the survey results. For each, identify its type and give a unit if one applies.
5.State the claim in your own words and use a relevant calculation from the results to assess whether the numbers support it.
6.How well do these results answer the investigation’s purpose? Explain one strength and one limitation.
7.Suggest two pieces of additional information the kura could collect before deciding whether to install secure parking.

Part B: Independent check

Answer each item using the same investigation and results.

8.In one sentence, state the purpose of the survey.
9.Give two variables from the investigation and state the type of each. Include a unit where appropriate.
10.Describe the situation behind the data in one or two sentences.
11.Give one statistic from the results that supports the claim’s comparison of active travel with bus or car travel.
