1)  A  researcher  asked  150  high  school  students  what  their  favourite  fast  food  restaurant  was.  The  results  
are  in  the  table  below:  
 
Restaurant   Number  of  Students   Relative  Frequency  
McDonald’s   22    
Wendy’s   38    
Subway   22    
Harvey’s   11    
Pizza  Pizza   29    
A&W   6    
KFC   9    
Other   13    
 
a)  What  type  of  variable  is  ‘favourite  fast  food  restaurant?’  
 
 
b)  Would  it  be  more  appropriate  to  make  a  histogram  or  bar  graph  to  display  this  data?  
 
 
c)  Complete  the  relative  frequency  column  
 
 
d)  Display  the  relative  frequencies  using  a  bar  graph  or  histogram.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2)  A  student  is  interested  in  whether  there  is  a  relationship  between  gender  and  major  at  her  college.  She  
randomly  sampled  some  men  and  women  on  campus  and  asked  them  if  their  major  was  part  of  the  
natural  sciences  (NS),  social  sciences  (SS),  or  humanities  (H).  Her  results  appear  in  the  table  below.

a) Complete  the  totals  
 
b) To  determine  if  major  depends  on  gender  by  calculating  the  conditional  distribution  of  major  
based  on  gender  (row  percentages).  
 
c) Use  your  conditional  distribution  to  describe  the  relationship  between  the  variables.
