Creating lists and tables helps us compare data, for things such as favourite sports, weather and many more things. We can then show our data in a column graph, to help us compare our data.

Let's watch a video to see how.

Worked Examples

Question 1

$Ben$ asked $35$35 people about how many siblings they have. He found that $12$12 people had no siblings, $15$15 people had one sibling, $3$3 people had two siblings and $5$5 people had three siblings.

Write $Ben$ 's results in the frequency table below.

Number of Siblings Frequency

$0$0 $\editable{}$

$1$1 $\editable{}$

$2$2 $\editable{}$

$3$3 $\editable{}$

Number of Siblings	Frequency
$0$0	$\editable{}$
$1$1	$\editable{}$
$2$2	$\editable{}$
$3$3	$\editable{}$

Question 2

Mr. $Smith$ asked his $42$42 students about what they want to be when they grow up. $10$10 wanted to be a $doctor$ , $12$12 wanted to be a $teacher$ , $6$6 wanted to be a $civil engineer$ , and $14$14 wanted to be a $politician$ .

Which list shows the correct positions $A$A, $B$B, $C$C, $D$D.

Job	Frequency
$A$`A`	$10$10

Question 3

The table shows the number of people who visited Disneyland between $2008$ and $2012$ .

Year	Number of people (in hundred thousands)
$2008$	$158$158
$2009$	$155$155
$2010$	$155$155
$2011$	$157$157
$2012$	$160$160

Use the table to complete the chart.

Outcomes

S3-1

Conduct investigations using the statistical enquiry cycle: – gathering, sorting, and displaying multivariate category and wholenumber data and simple time-series data to answer questions;– identifying patterns and trends in context, within and between data sets; – communicating findings, using data displays

S3-2

Evaluate the effectiveness of different displays in representing the findings of a statistical investigation or probability activity undertaken by others.
