Task 1:Create a Frequency (Pivot) Table of the Qualification and Gender variables. Compare the modal
Qualification for each Gender.
The modal qualification from this samples
shows us that the Males from this dataset is
Vocational as 38/92, males in this sample
have completed their Vocational
Qualification. In comparison, the Modal
qualification for that of Females is
Vocational, as well as 46/108 Females,
have a vocational qualification. However, a
finding has been found as we can see out of

m
er as
the 92 Males and 108 Females there is the
lesser amount that have a degree from this

co
eH w
sample.

Task 2: Draw a suitable graph of the Ethnicity variable, and comment on what it shows
ou urc
The Common message presented by
the Bar graph as seen to the left
produced, that there is a majority of
o

European ethnicity types from the

sample of data that has been given,
aC s

as it is approximately four times the

vi y re

size of the second biggest ethnicity

type bar, which is Maori ethnicity
types. Other ethnicity types coming
ed d

in third and Pacific coming in fourth,

this displays a message the Sample
ar stu

of data is dominated by European

Ethnicity.

Task 3: Draw boxplots of Income by Qualification. Ensure the ordinal nature of Qualification is reflected
in the graph. Use your graph to compare the income levels for the four groups,
Th

i.e. explain what the graph shows.

There is visually an overall increasing trend in the incomes levels
based on the higher the qualifications, as this represents the higher the
sh

qualification, the higher the average income will indeed be. However
the mean and median of school qualification lie’s below, no
qualification. There is however an outlier seen on the graph, of schools
income, as visually seen by the dot. Vocational qualification has the
biggest spread of income. Degree qualification has the highest
opportunity to earn the most income. However, the graphs sum's up
that the higher the qualification you have will tend to result in a higher
income.

 Task 4: Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the Age data, and the 90th percentile. What does
the latter number tell you about the sample of Ages?
The 90th percentile of 42, means that from this sample of ages
from the data set, that 90% of the ages are below 42.

Task 5: Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the Hours (worked) variable for males and females
separately. (Hint: consider using the Sort functionality) Draw boxplots of the Hours (worked) variable by
Gender. Do the means and standard deviations agree with the information shown by the
boxplots? Explain.
This Set of data has produced
the facts that the Males mean
and the median number of
hours worked is higher than
that of the Females, therefore
suggesting that Males do

m
indeed work longer hours than Females. This is

er as
proven evident with the mean and standard

co
deviation that has been calculated, as the mean for

eH w
Males is 42.3 (1.dp) which is larger than the

o.
rs e Females mean of 24.6 (1.dp)
ou urc
However the IQR of Females is substantially larger
than that of the Males IQR, this relates back to the
standard deviation which has been calculated as the
o

Females STD is 14.6 (1.dp) which is larger than that of the Males STD which is 13.9 (1.dp).
However, with the Males data, the IQR is visually smaller than the females, this is likely due
aC s

to the outliers in the male data set, which can be seen on the graph as the green dots.

Task 6: Draw a histogram of the Hours (worked) variable. If the histogram is bimodal, can you explain
the source of this?
ed d

The histogram is not bimodal, as the

ar stu

only peak is that of the 33-43 hours

worked bar.
