Introduction
This is a project about the chapter, statistics. We are required to form a group
of 5 members to complete this project. We got this inspiration of doing ways for
Taylor’s student come to campus while we are chilling at the Starbucks corner. We
saw people and traffic at the main entrance which are formed by car, bus & walking
to campus.
After discuss the main topic that we decided, we discuss further and find out
more situation and incidents that always happened while taking these transports or
walking to campus. We found that this topic was really interesting that make each of
us having mood to do this project. We made a survey form to carry out this survey.
Survey was made by Taylor’s lakeside by asking students to fill our survey
form. All of the students are willing to participants. After few days of survey at
different places, such as block A, library and corridor, we had finally carried out our
survey successfully. We thank to all that giving much cooperation for us to complete
this survey.
OBJECTIVES
The objective of this assignment includes learning to collect data, interpret and
lastly convert all into statistical data. Based on the knowledge gained in Mathematics
classes, we are required to analyze data collected and apply fundamental
mathematical principles to present the data effectively.
Our aim of this statistics study:
1. To study willingness of females and males in different situation.
-By creating questionnaires to learn more from the participants.
2. To apply the knowledge we learnt in class in analyzing data and draw a
conclusion from the results.
-After collecting the 200 data, we will move forwards to a conclusion for
this survey.
3. To collect and organize statistical data.
METHODOLOGY
We conducted a survey at Taylor’s Lakeside University to collect all the data that needed.
Fortunately, most of the students were friendly and they helped us a lot by filling the survey
form.
1. We worked as a group to discuss questionnaire form. We drafted everything
important on paper.
2. We choose about 25 most suitable questions to put in our survey forms. But
we finalize the questions into 20 questions.
3. We made the survey forms by using Microsoft Word and 200 numbers of
copies were printed out.
4. We separate the survey forms to every member, so each person will have 40
survey forms.
5. All the survey forms were brought to Taylor’s Lakeside University and the
survey was conducted within the University.
6. Male filled up 100 survey forms and female filled up another 100 survey
forms.
7. After the survey, we work as a group to collect and calculate the data together.
8. At the end, we started to do our report and the graphic board as well. To be
more efficient, we separate our works wisely.

FIGURE 2 : The number of students in each transportation.
This bar chart shows that most of the males and females take cars to Taylor’s
University which is formed by 50% males and 42% females. There are 24% males
and females taking bus or public transport which contained the smallest number.
Based on the bar chart above, we analysed that most of the people owned a car and
travel by private transport.

The pie chart shows that 50% of males will reach bus station less than 5
minutes while 58% females spend less than5 minutes. As the pie chart showing,
females spend more time compared to males in house before going bus stop which
results in less time left when reach bus stop.
FIGURE 4 : The number of males and females will take a seat beside an opposite sex
in a bus.
We calculated the percentage of male and female in taking a seat beside an
opposite sex by dividing the total of each gender took public transport to campus (24
males and 24 females) and multiply 100.

The pie chart shows that 83.3% males will choose to sit beside an opposite
seat while there are only 41.7% females will choose to do that. Males think that sitting
beside an opposite sex is not a matter but due to self-protection, females will choose
to sit beside same sex.

FIGURE 5 : The number of males and females will give the seat to an elderly.
We calculated the percentage of male and female giving their seat to an elder
by dividing the total of each gender (24 males and 24 females) and multiply 100.
16/24 X 100% = 66.67% 8/24 X 100% = 33.33%
15/24 X100% = 61.5% 9/24 x 100% = 37.5%
From the pie chart, it shows that 67% of males will let their seat to the elders
while 62% of females will do that. Both genders think that giving seat to elder is
important to show respect and moral teaches them in that way.

FIGURE 6 : The number of males and females will take a nap inside the bus.
We calculated the percentage of male and female will take a nap in bus by
dividing the total of each gender (24 males and 24 females) and multiply 100.
20/24 x 100% = 83.33% 4 /24 x 100% = 16.67%
16/24 x 100% = 66.67% 8/24 x 100% = 33.33%
The pie chart shows that 83% males will take a nap while there are 67%
females will do that. Males have higher number because they think that ability to
protect themselves is higher than female, they feel that it is safe to take a nap.
FIGURE 7 : The number of males and females will take a bus alone.
We calculated the percentage of male and female will take bus alone by
dividing the total of each gender (24 males and 24 females) and multiply 100.

The pie chart shows that 67% males will take a nap while there are 58%
females will do that. In this survey, we found out that females are not willing to sit
next to a person who is opposite sex, this causes the number of females siting in bus is
less than males.
FIGURE 9: The number of males and females will reach the campus within 10
minutes.
We calculated the percentage of male and female will reach campus within 10
minutes dividing the total of each gender (50 males and 42 females) and multiply 100.

The pie chart shows that 86% males will overtake another car no matter how
short is the distance while there are only 67% females will do that. To reach campus
in a shorter time, most of the males will overtake another vehicle, although they know
that is very dangerous. In the other side, Most of the females will drive in a safe way.
FIGURE 11: The number of males and females in preferring perfume inside the car.
We calculated the percentage of males and females in appling air refresher in
car by dividing the total of each gender (50 males and 42 females) and multiply by
100.

The pie chart shows that 54% males will carry while 65% females will carry.
Less number of females will text when walking because there is a lot of cases where
females got involved higher than males.
FIGURE 20 : The number of males and females will carry an umbrella under a hot
sun while walking to campus.
We calculated the percentage of males and females will carry an umbrella
while walking by dividing the total of each gender walking home (26 males and 34

fine to expose directly to the sun.
CONCLUSION
After completing this project, we have known that how to apply something
that we learn in mathematics class in our daily life. Statistics are important to survey
everything just around us. We will never get the result without applying statistics. Our
prediction something may wrong without statistics. From this project, we get to know
most of the Taylor’s students actually come to school by car, follow by walking and
bus is the least method for students to reach campus.
We, the architecture students are having many assignments, however,
technology make our life easier. We did our graph and bar chart by using Mircosoft
Excel which is digital software. We learn how to apply the bar chart correctly based
on the data that we gained. Without the help of this technology, we can’t complete
and pass up the project on time.
Besides, teamwork is important. Project is not a one man work. It required the
help of every member to produce a good outcome. Thanks to all members for giving
much cooperation during the period of doing this project. We are all busy but we still
can draw some free time to complete it, much appreciated! Finally, thanks to our
lecturer, Miss Ang for giving a chance to let us improve our mathematics skill
practically that may help us a lot in our final exam.
