Displaying Data, SM-Bank 043

While working at the Year 7 camp, Gene counted how many bullseyes the archery group achieved during the afternoon activity.

He summarised the data in the table below.
  

\begin{array} {|l|c|c|c|c||}
\hline
\rule{0pt}{2.5ex} \textbf{Number of Bullseyes} \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt} & \  0\   &  \  1\   & \  2\   & \  3\   & \  4\   & \  5\   & \  6  \\
\hline
\rule{0pt}{2.5ex} \textbf{Number of Students} \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt} &7 &5&3&5&2&2&1 \\
\hline
\end{array}

  1. How many students were in the afternoon session of archery?  (1 mark)

    --- 3 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

  2. How many students scored zero bullseyes?  (1 mark)

    --- 1 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

  3. Assuming all shots were bullseye attempts, how many shots at the bullseye were made?  (1 mark)

    --- 2 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

  4. Display this data in a vertical column graph using the grid below.  (2 marks)
     

    --- 0 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

a.    \(25\)

b.    \(7\)

c.    \(57\)

d.   

Show Worked Solution

a.    \(\text{Number of students} = 25\)

b.    \(\text{Zero bullseyes} = 7\)

c.   
\(\text{Total shots at bullseye}\) \(=7+5\times 1+3\times 2+5\times 3+2\times 4+2\times 5+1\times 6\)
    \(=57\)

\(\text{NOTE:  The question asks for total shots NOT total value of shots,}\)

\(\text{therefore, the 7 who score 0 bullseyes must be added in.}\)

d.
