S3.1 Design and use two-way tables for grouped and ungrouped data.


Candidates should be able to:

Examples

  1. The table shows the gender of pupils in each year group in a school.

    Gender / Y 7 8 9 10 11
    Male 82 89 101 95 92

  2. The table shows the number of shoppers the weekend before a sale and the weekend of the sale.

    Number of shoppers / Day Saturday Sunday
    Weekend before sale 675 389

    Does the data provide evidence to support a claim of a 10% increase in shoppers during the sale?
