Organising Data: Creating Graphs
The class newspaper is reporting on a lunchtime survey. Read the data carefully, organise it, and use graphs to tell the story. Include clear titles, labels and scales in your graph.
The Survey
Nikau and Tui asked 24 students which lunchtime activity they most enjoy. Every student chose one activity.
Activity
Number of students
Reading
6
Football
8
Drawing
4
Skipping
6
1.Check the survey totals. How many students were asked, and how can you check your answer using the activity counts?
2.Which activity is most popular, and how many more students chose it than drawing?
3.The newspaper needs a bar graph of the survey. Which scale would show every count accurately and use the graph space well?
- A scale counting in 1s from 0 to 8
- A scale counting in 5s from 0 to 50
- A scale counting in 10s from 0 to 100
4.Create a bar graph of the lunchtime activity survey. Draw it in the space below or on graph paper. Give it a title, label both axes, use a suitable scale, and draw one bar for each activity.
5.A pie chart represents all 24 students as one whole. What fraction of the whole chose football?
- 1/3
- 1/4
- 1/2
6.For a pie chart of the same survey, what fraction of the whole would represent reading and skipping together?
7.Wiremu says, “A pie chart is the best graph for showing which activity was chosen most often.” Is his claim correct? Explain which graph would make the most popular activity easiest to compare.
8.The newspaper adds a second survey: 5 students chose chess, 7 chose kapa haka, and 4 chose basketball. How many students answered this second survey? Would the same bar-graph scale from 0 to 8 work? Explain.
