Describing Statistics PDF

This document contains three graphs describing statistics: 1) A table shows exam marks for 100 students divided by gender, with most scoring 50-60 and few scoring 70-80. It is difficult to compare success between genders with unequal numbers. 2) A bar graph shows pizza toppings popularity, with pepperoni the favorite and tomato the least. Mushrooms are twice as popular as peppers. 3) A pie chart displays school transportation, with most using cars at 40%, fewer the bus at 20%, a third bicycles, and fewest the train at 10%. Bicycles being second most popular is surprising but good for the environment.

This table shows the marks 100 students achieved out of 80. It divides the
students into males and females so we can compare their marks. The most
common/frequent mark overall was in the range of 50-60 and the least
common/frequent mark was in the highest range from 70-80. Most boys
scored in the range from 40-50, whereas most girls scored in the range of
50-60_. However, more boys than girls scored the higher marks. In my
opinion it is hard to tell whether the male or female students were more
successful and it would be easier to compare if there were an equal
number of male and female students.

favourite topping with 325 votes is pepperoni and the least favourite
topping is tomato with just 50 votes. We can see that mushroom is two
times more popular than pepper. The chart also shows that onion has 50
more votes than bacon. I am not surprised that pepperoni is the favourite

bicycle, but this is good as it’s the best option for the environment.
