3.3 Interpreting Tabular Data Questions

Now let’s put what you learned about interpreting Tabular Data Questions into practice!

The following table shows sales of three separate magazines. There are two versions, the normal version which is 300 pages, and the deluxe edition which is 400 pages. The normal edition costs £8.99 whereas the deluxe edition costs £13.99

Book	Magazine 1	Magazine 2	Magazine 3
Normal	36	41	61
Deluxe Edition (+100 pages)	29	25	27

1. Which of the following statements is true?

A. There were more sales of deluxe edition than normal copies

B. Magazine 1 was more popular than Magazine 2 overall

C. Magazine 3 made more revenue through its normal edition than its deluxe edition.

D. The deluxe edition was found to be more cost effective by its customers.

19

0

Explanation

The correct answer is C.

Magazine 3 made more revenue through its normal edition than its deluxe edition.

Normal Edition

61 x 8.99 = £548.39 (Could estimate by doing 60 x 10 = £600)

Deluxe Edition

27 x 13.99 = £377.73 (Could estimate by doing 30 x 14 = £420)

There were more sales of deluxe edition than normal copies

Deluxe: 29 + 25 + 27 = 81

Normal: 36 + 41 + 61 = 138

Magazine 1 was more popular than Magazine 2 overall

Magazine 1 36 + 29 = 65

Magazine 2 41 + 25 = 66

The deluxe edition was found to be more cost effective by its customers

The table shows sales from Company X last year in terms of items sold.

Summer months are June to August.

2. Choose ‘Yes’ if the conclusion does follow. Choose ‘No’ if the conclusion does not follow.

Employee B made more profit over the whole period.

Employee A sold 125 more across the whole year.

Employees A sold more in the summer months.

Employees A and B sold the same number of items in total.

In combination, Employees A&B sold 1000+ items in these months.

Yes

No

16

1

Explanation

No – Whilst the Employee had higher sales, this does not translate to more profit.

No – We do not have data to describe sales across the whole year.

Yes – In June, July, and August, the total sales for Employee A is 345 whereas for Employee B they are 340.

No – Across the period, Employee A sold 500 and Employee B sold 515 and so they didn’t sell the same number.

Yes – Across the period, Employee A sold 500 and Employee B sold 515 and so they sold 1015 in total.

Everyone's definition of summer months could be different, better if question is more precise

Fri, 04 Aug 2023 10:47:32

^^ it tells you what they consider as summer months - "Summer months are June to August."

Ticket Type	Early bird	Standard	On the Door
Adult	15	20	25
Child	7.50	8	10
Student	12	16	20
Senior	12	16	20
Family	40	50	60

• All prices in £.

• An adult is 18+

• Students must present a valid ID or pay an adult on the door price.

• A senior is 65+

• A family is 2 adults and 2 children.

• Early Bird Tickets are available until 30 days before the event.

• Standard tickets are available until the day before the event.

3. Tick ‘Yes’ if the conclusion does follow. Tick ‘No’ if the conclusion does not follow.

A family booking 25 days before get a £6 discount.

A student paying on the door pays less than a standard adult ticket

A child ticket is always half that of an adults.

A couple bought two tickets for £24 - they must be students.

A student who had bought an early bird ticketturned up without ID and so paid £37 in total.

Yes

No

7

3

Explanation

Yes – They would be purchasing standard tickets. 20 x 2 + 8 x 2 = 56 which is £6 more than the £50 paid for a standard family ticket.

No – They both pay £20.

No – For both Standard and On The Door tickets the cost of child tickets is less than half that of an adult.

No – There is more than one possibility for reaching £24 such as two seniors purchasing early bird tickets.

Yes – Initially the student would have paid £12. They then would have had to purchase an adult on the door ticket for £25, paying £37 in total.

Lucienne Medicmind Tutor

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 19:48:24

The first answer does mke sense. They wont get early bird tickets as they missed the 30 day cut off (they're booking 25 days before) hence why they get a standard family ticket. But this doesn't explain why we don't count for a on the door family ticket????

i dont understand the 1st one ... standard family price was 50 and they paid 56 so how did they get 6 euro discount

anonymous Medicmind Tutor

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 04:31:28

In the 1st one, when they take tickets individually like 2 adults and 2 children giving the standard amount, they would end up paying 56 pounds as explained in the answer. But if they buy the standard family ticket, they only have to pay 50 pounds.Hence they save 6 pounds. The confusion about the early bird ticket is removed as they are buying the tickets only 25 days before the event. Thus they need to pay the standard amount. Hope this helps.

The table shows points scored and conceded in a fantasy football competition in various months.

By the end of March, the team had scored 150 points.

4. Tick ‘Yes’ if the conclusion does follow. Tick ‘No’ if the conclusion does not follow.

In the months shown, the team scored more than they conceded.

In February they scored 75 points.

In May they scored as many as they conceded in January.

July was the highest scoring month.

In September they scored more than in March and May combined.

Yes

No

1

Explanation

No – They scored 400 points and conceded 475.

Yes – They had 150 by the end of March so 150 – 50 – 25 = 75.

Yes – They conceded 75 in January and scored 75 in May.

No – The highest scoring month shown is July but we do not know about the other months.

No – They scored 100 in September which is the same as 25 + 75 (the scores in March and May combined).

second one is so confusing

A company produces two cars – Model X and Model T. One Model T takes 50 hours to complete. One Model X takes 20 hours to make. The table shows some combinations which utilise the maximum available hours of labour.. Time is the only limiting factor.

Model T	Model X
1000	0
500	1250
200	2000
100	2250

5. Tick ‘Yes’ if the conclusion does follow. Tick ‘No’ if the conclusion does not follow.

An order of 2600 Model X alone in a month can be completed.

A target of 2100 Model X and 160 Model T is possible.

A target of 150 model T and 2000 Model X would leave workers idle.

If 750 Model T are made, more model X are produced.

The maximum number of Model X produced whilst still making Model T is 2498

Yes

No

9

3

Explanation

No – The maximum number of hours is 50,000 (50 x 1000). 50000/20 = 250.

Yes – The maximum number of hours is 50,000. 2100 x 20 + 160 x 50 = 50,000.

Yes – The maximum number of hours is 50,000. 2000 x 20 + 150 x 50 = 47,500. This leaves 2500 hours spare.

No – The maximum number of hours is 50,000. 750 x 50 = 37500, 50000-37500 = 12500. 12500/20 = 625 so fewer Model X are produced.

No – For the maximum of Model X, 1 model T would be made. Therefore (50000-50)/20 = 2497.5. As you can’t have half a car, you round down giving 2497.

50,000 comes from 1000*50, this is because all time is utilized in producing Model T so that is the maximum time available for production

Bell Medicmind Tutor

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 12:26:05

Can someone explain this more please! (Last Question) No – For the maximum of Model X, 1 model T would be made. Therefore (50000-50)/20 = 2497.5. As you can’t have half a car, you round down giving 2497.

anonymous Medicmind Tutor

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 04:47:36

to bell- in the last ques, max no of model X while making T implies there should be at least 1 model T. time required for 1 model T is 50hrs. from the table, we can conclude that total time available is 50x1000=50000. so, subtracting 50 from 50000, we now have 49950hrs to make model X. Now Model X requires 20 hrs, so if we divide the remaining time with 20, we get 2497.5 no of model X but this is practically not possible. Hence, 2497 is the max no of model X that can be produced and not 2498. hope this clears your doubt.

There was an outbreak of food poisoning on a hospital ward.

The table shows the data from the incident.

Food	Number who ate and were ill	Total who ate	Number who didn’t eat and were ill	Total who did not eat
Soup	10	10	2	20
Bread	5	15	7	15
Peas	10	10	15	20
Chicken Curry	20	20	7	10
Apple pie and custard	20	30	0	0

6. Tick ‘Yes’ if the conclusion does follow. Tick ‘No’ if the conclusion does not follow.

Everyone ate apple pie.

The most likely source of the outbreak is the soup.

One-third of the group ate chicken curry.

Two-thirds of the group fell ill.

The chicken curry was the most popular.

Yes

No

12

Explanation

Yes – From the table, 0 people did not eat apple pie.

Yes – From the table, the option which has the highest percentage of those became ill and the lowest number of people who were ill without eating it, the soup is the most likely source.

No – From the table, we are told that 20 ate chicken curry and so this is two-thirds of the group.

No – From the table, we cannot ascertain the total number who fell ill.

No – We’ve seen before that 100% of people ate apple pie whereas 66% of people ate the chicken curry and so the Apple Pie is more popular.

The table states that 30 people eat the apple pie, and 0 don't eat it; there are 30 people in the group. Therefore we know that apple pie includes everybody, 20 people get ill, so 2/3 of the group get ill. Major skill issue.

David plants berry bushes in his garden. They grow blue and black berries at a constant rate without shedding any. At planting, they had 0 berries of any colour.

The following table shows the number of berries on each of the five bushes after two months.

Plant	Blue Berries	Black Berries
1	5	2
2	6	1
3	8	4
4	0	6
5	8	0

7. Tick ‘Yes’ if the conclusion does follow. Tick ‘No’ if the conclusion does not follow.

Berry bushes can only grow blue or black berries.

Berry bushes only produce berries after two months of growth.

5 months later, plant 5 will have 20 blue berries on it.

80% of David’s berry bushes have both blue and black berries.

2 months later, a plant has 16 blue berries - it must be plant 5.

Yes

No

7

Explanation

No – We’re told that the bushes grow these at a constant rate. They could grow different berries at a non-constant rates.

No – We’re told that they have 0 berries at planting and the numbers from the table after 2 months but not that these are the first fruits.

Yes – We’re told that they grow berries at a constant rate. Plant 5 has grown 8 in 2 months so grow them at a rate of 4 a month and so after 5 months will have grown 20 blue berries.

No – We’re told three of the five have both which is 60%.

No – Both Plant 3 and Plant 5 grow blue berries at a rate of 4 a month so it could be plant 3.

Civil servants are promoted depending on their performance rating. A department rates all its civil servants between 1 and 4 for their bonus allocation with 4 as highest and 1 as lowest. Civil servants are only eligible for promotion after two years of service in the same job and if they got a 3 or a 4 in their most recent performance review. All civil servants receive a £1k bonus if they receive a 3 or above in their performance review. The following table shows the employment record of some individuals. Years of service refers to their current role.

Name	Performance rating	Years of service	Promoted?
Dan	3	2	Y
Jenna	1	1.5	N
Tim	4	2	Y
Tom	3	1.5	N
Marion	1	3	Y

8. Tick ‘Yes’ if the conclusion does follow. Tick ‘No’ if the conclusion does not follow.

Explanation

Yes – Marion got a performance rating of 1 and was still promoted so cannot be a civil servant.

No – Only Tim and Dan have a performance ranking above 3 and 2 years of service in their role.

Yes – Only those with a 3 or above get a bonus and her rating is 1.

No – We are told that people get a £1k bonus rather than one dependent on performance.

No – He will be eligible only if he gets a 3 or a 4 in next years’ performance rating.

'student', in this ques, we are primarily talking about civil servants and their eligibility. eligible for promotion and promoted do not mean the same. Marion here is promoted, that doesn't mean she was eligible(in civil service context). Thus, only 2 of them were eligible as per the conditions stated in the ques.

Oil Paintings	Watercolours
0	200
75	100
150	0

A group of artists collectively takes commissions. Each oil painting takes 20 hours and each watercolour takes 15. They are only limited by time.

9. Which of the following orders can they not fulfil in a month?

A. 150 Watercolours only

B. 148 oil paintings, 3 Watercolours

C. 150 oil paintings only

D. 100 oil paintings and 66 watercolours

8

3

Explanation

The correct answer is B.

They have 200 x 15 hours which is 3000.

148 x 20 + 3 x 15 = 3005 and so they cannot fulfil it within a month.

from the first row. it's easiest to use in the calculation because it's the simplest one as you're just doing 200*15 and not adding anything as the oil paintings column is 0 for that one. (I think)

Damien Medicmind Tutor

Sat, 11 Sep 2021 09:35:57

The table shows the number of each type of painting that can be painted in a set amount of time. By multiplying 200 (no. of watercolour paintings) by 15 (hours it takes to paint 1 watercolour) you get 3000hrs which is the max. amount of time they can spend painting. This can also be found by multiplying 150 (no. of oil paintings) by 20hrs (time taken to paint 1 oil painting). As in both of these cases no other time is spent on another painting, hence the max time.

Troy and Gabriella are planning their wedding. They have a list of items which they want to put on a wedding list. The following table shows the cost of various items at two department stores All prices are in pound sterling.

Item	Jack Louis	House of Frazier
Drill	20	25
Dishwasher	200	300
Dinner Set	150	100
12 Wine glasses	30	45
Baking tray	15	10
Breadmaker	65	100

11. Tick ‘Yes’ if the conclusion does follow. Tick ‘No’ if the conclusion does not follow.

The bread maker is 35% more expensive at House of frazier

The dinner set is 33% cheaper at House of frazier

If a person buys the drill and the dinner set, it is £45 cheaper inHouse of Frazier

The breadmakers must be different models

Overall Jack Louis is cheaper

Yes

No

3

5

Explanation

No – It is £35 more expensive rather than 35% more expensive.

Yes – This is selecting the relevant information from the table 150 + 20 – (100 + 25) = 45.

Yes – This is selecting the relevant information from the table – Jack Louis costs 150 +20 = 170, and House of Frazier costs 100 + 25 = 125. This is £45 cheaper from House of Frazier.

No – Whilst the prices are very different, this is not a valid conclusion which we can draw.

Yes – If all the prices in the table are added together, Jack Louis is cheaper – this can be done by inspection as some of the House of Frazier are significantly more.

The dinner set is 33% cheaper at House of frazier this statement should be wrong as 33% cheaper implies a selling price of 100.5 not 100

The list did not show all, but various items. Therefore, we cannot determine whether Jack Louis is cheaper overall.
