  • Handling Data (1) Collection of data 1. Susan wishes to carry out a survey to find how many students travelled to school.

    (a) Design a data collection sheet so that you could collect the data for her.

    (b) Fill in your sheet using the students in your maths set.

    (c) Give two disadvantages of asking students in your class for this survey.

    2. Tim is a paperboy who is interested in the different types of newspapers read by people.

    3. A restaurant has a three-course meal on offer, which consists of a

    starter, main course and dessert. The starter is either soup or melon.

    Design three separate sheets, which will enable the restaurant staff,

    collect a tables order most effectively.

    4. Mr frost runs an ice cream van and is interested to find the number of sales he has for each of

    the following categories: Cornets, Choc-ices, Ice lollies and soft drinks.
