READ & UNDERSTAND

Reading detective

A student group analyses a town bus survey. Older residents value stops near health services, while students want a bus that reaches after-school activities. The group calculates percentages for the responses and compares timetable options. Before making a recommendation, they check whether the survey included people who currently cannot use the service.

Why check which people were included in the survey? An incomplete sample may miss important needsEveryone gives the same answerIt makes maths impossible
