 Analysis Of Data

On the pie charts shown above there are .15 participate with 6 males and 9 females. There are 12
persons who pack lunch to school and 3 persons who don’t carry lunch. With those 3 persons
that don’t pack lunch buy lunch from the shop or canteen, the 3 participate answer where they
spend $7-$15 a day at school, but it does not mean the rest of participates don’t carry money to
school showing by the data above there are price range of money the participate carry to school.
5 participants bring 5 dollars, 4 participants bring 7 and 3 bring 15 to school.

Question 9 the participants mode of transportation is personal vehicle 6 participants, own car 4
participants, taxi 4 participants and walking 1 participant. To find out how much money students
spend, the researcher starts from the beginning of the participants day where some participants
exchange money for transportation and also car owners who are still in high school pay for gas.
personal vehicle is when your parents provide transport for you, so personal vehicle and walk do
not need money.

Question 10 If taxi how much do you pay? 4 participants select taxi, all of the participants
answer where 2 dollars move from point A to point B so that means they spend 4 dollars a day
and 20 dollars a week.

Question 11 If own car how much do you pay for gas? There are 4 participants who select their
own car. The price range for car owners is 2- 50. With 2 participants with $20, 1 participant with
30, 1 participant with $50 and $2.
 Discussion of Findings

With this research it was able to conclude that:

● Most of the money spent has been invested in transportation.

● The participant who invests in lunch and transportation the sum of money will increase
more.
● The participants that walk, pack lunch and parents owned personal vehicles sum of
money spent will decrease.
