2 Your task is to investigate how the electorate voted in the four different constituencies in Manchester in the 2005 General Election. 1 The column labelled Electorate 2005, lists the number of people who were eligible to vote in each constituency. The column labelled Result 2005, lists the party that won in each constituency. Constituency Manchester Blackley Manchester Central Manchester Gorton Manchester Withington Electorate Result Labour Conservative Liberal Democrat Large other Labour UK 1554 Independence Labour Green Labour UK Independence Liberal Green 1595 Democrat a) How many more people voted Labour than Conservative in Manchester Blackley? Number of people b) What was the range in the number of electorate in the different constituencies? Range c) What was the median number of people who voted Conservative? people Median d) What was the mean number of people who voted Liberal Democrat? people Mean e) What percentage of the electorate voted Labour in Manchester Gorton? people % Pearson Education 2009 Functional Maths Level 2 Chapters 6 7 Test page 2 Draft for Pilot FS-Ma-L2test-Cha6-7.indd 2 8/5/09 11:50:49
3 Investigating election statistics 6 7 f) Which constituency had the smallest percentage difference in votes between the parties that came first and second?

4 3 A Mori poll before the election resulted in the following probabilities for how the electorate would vote in the General Election for 2005: Labour Conservative Liberal Democrat Others 37% 33% 22% a) What did the Mori poll find for the probability the electorate would vote for Others? Probability vote Others b) What was the probability that the voters would not vote Labour? % Probability not vote Labour c) Write as a decimal the probability that people would vote Liberal Democrat. % Probability vote Liberal Democrat 4 The total number of people who voted in the General Election in 2005 was The Mori poll predicted that 37% would vote Labour. a) How many people did the Mori poll predict would vote Labour? Number of people The actual number that voted Labour in the 2005 General Election was Percentage error = actual number of voters predicted numbers of voters actual number of voters 100 b) Calculate the percentage error in the number of people predicted to vote Labour by the Mori poll. Percentage error % Pearson Education 2009 Functional Maths Level 2 Chapters 6 7 Test page 4 Draft for Pilot FS-Ma-L2test-Cha6-7.indd 4 8/5/09 11:50:51
5 Investigating election statistics The pie charts show the proportion of the vote in the General Elections in 2001 and Voting in the General Election 2001 Voting in the General Election 2005 Other Other Liberal Democrat Labour Liberal Democrat Labour Conservative Conservative Is it true to say that: The pie charts show that more people voted Labour in 2001 than in 2005? Give reasons for your answer. 6 A group of students conduct their own survey about how people will vote in the next local election. They surveyed people who were in the main shopping centre at 9 o clock one Monday morning. a) Give two reasons why this may not give an accurate representation of the way people will vote in the local election b) What could the students do to work out a more accurate representation of the way people will vote in a general election?

6 Solutions 1a) voted Labour and 3690 voted Conservative in Manchester Blackley = so more people voted Labour than Conservative. 1b) The range is the highest value lowest value. The range in the number of electorate is: = c) To find the median number of people who voted Liberal Democrat, first write the number of voters in order of size: 2504, 2848, 3690, The median is the middle value. As there are an even number of values, the median is the mean of the middle two values Median = = = d) To find the mean you need to add all the values together and divide by Mean = = = The mean number of people should be a whole number, either or is acceptable. 1e) In Manchester Gorton out of voted Labour. As a percentage this is: 100 = 23.9 to one decimal place f) M/c Blackley, Labour won by = votes M/c Central, Labour won by = 9776 votes M/c Gorton, Labour won by = 5808 votes M/c Withington, Liberal Democrat won by = 667 votes As a percentage this is = 0.98% to two decimal places g) The number in the Other category was ( ) = So of the electorate in Manchester Central did not vote in the 2005 General Election. Answer or % In Manchester Withington Liberal Democrats beat Labour by 0.98% a) Political party Number of votes Rounded to the nearest Labour Conservative Liberal Democrat Green Pearson Education 2009 Functional Maths Level 2 Chapters 6 7 Test page 6 Draft for Pilot FS-Ma-L2test-Cha6-7.indd 6 8/5/09 11:50:53
7 Investigating election statistics 6 7 2b) Voting in Manchester Central in the 2005 General Election Bars of equal width and gaps between the bars. Bars of correct height and correctly labelled Number of votes a) The sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes = 1 or 100%. So, probability of Other = 100 ( ) = = 8%. 3b) prob(event happens) + prob(event doesn t happen) = 1 or 100% prob(vote Labour) = 37%, so prob(not vote Labour) = = 63% 8% 63% 3c) prob(vote Liberal Democrat) = 22% = a) Mori poll predicted 37% would vote Labour = = = to the 100 nearest whole number. This value could be taken to imply that not the number of Labour voters was less than so should be the correct answer. 4b) Using % error = = 4.98% to 3 sig figs Using % error = = 4.98% to 3 sig figs Labour Conservative Polictical party Liberal Democrat Green or is acceptable Difference of 1 makes no difference to answer. 4.98% Note that when degree of accuracy is not given, you should work, in general, to 3 significant figures Pearson Education 2009 Functional Maths Level 2 Chapters 6 7 Test page 7 Draft for Pilot FS-Ma-L2test-Cha6-7.indd 7 8/5/09 11:50:54
8 5 No. Comparing the angles for the individual sectors, a larger angle represents the Labour vote in 2001 than It is tempting to say that this implies more people voted Labour in 2001 than in However, all you can say is that a larger proportion of the voters voted Labour in There could have been a larger number of voters in 2005 so that a smaller angle could still represent a larger number of people. 6a) Any two similar to: If they ask people who are in the main shopping centre at 9 o clock one Monday morning they will not include people who are at work at this time. Students who are of voting age are also unlikely to be included. Asking people at 9 o clock on Monday morning will not give a representative sample of people. Different times of the day/week should be included. The survey is also focused on one location and will not include people who use the local shops, rather than the main shopping centre. 6b) For example, could choose names at random from the local telephone books and telephone them to ask their opinion. Key points to highlight: pie charts represent the proportion of the whole and you cannot identify the numbers involved without being given more information. A larger angle does not imply a larger number of voters. Key points to focus on: location target audience time frame Any reasonable response based on relevant identification in 6a) is acceptable Pearson Education 2009 Functional Maths Level 2 Chapters 6 7 Test page 8 Draft for Pilot FS-Ma-L2test-Cha6-7.indd 8 8/5/09 11:50:54
