    120MP Tutorial Sheet Answers Week 5

    DATA COLLECTION

    1) a) Nominal
    b) Discrete
    c) Ordinal,
    d) Continuous
    e) Continuous
    f) Ordinal

    2) a) Restaurant name
    b) Hygiene Rating
    c) Number of employees
    d) Annual turnover

    or similar

    3) a) Obtain a numbered membership list. Use a random number generator to select


    100 people from the list. Random, so likely to be representative. They will be all over
    the country so due to cost it would probably use telephone/letter/email. Not face to
    face so response rate and quality of data may not be as high

    b) Use the membership list again. Randomly generate a number between 1 and 80
    as the starting point, then select every 80th member in the list after that. Not really
    any advantage over simple random sampling here (unless the list is ordered
    alphabetically say, and you thought that you think you need a spread of different
    lettered surnames to truly represent the student population)

    c) Aim is to save cost. No obvious saving if survey is by mail or phone. If face to


    face interviews then randomly select a postcode and choose 100 members in that or
    adjacent post code. This may not be truly representative of the whole country.

    d) Select a random sample of 75 males from the 6000, and a random sample of 25
    females from the 2000. This would reflect the gender split in the population. Useful if
    you think that the genders may give different answers from each other.

    No Yes
    Burger King 22% 78% 100%
    Last KFC 40% 60% 100%

    Pizza Hut 2% 3% 3%
    Other 13% 11% 12%
    100% 100% 100%

    Not accurate because data was only from students, not all users
    Not useful because most had a car, wherever they ate. (64% owned a car overall)

    Better eg’ ‘McDonalds was the restaurant visited most, with 58% of the students surveyed
    having purchased their last takeaway there.’ ‘The restaurant with the highest car ownership
    amongst student was Burger King, with 78% of student customers owning a car’.
