MYP Mathematics: Data & Probability

in the Real World


Name: _______________________ Date: _________________

Context: The Grade 6 International Food Festival


Your school is planning an International Food Festival. As part of the student council, you
have been tasked with analyzing data to help organize the food stalls, create meal
combinations, and set up the festival games. Show all your working out clearly.

Part 1: Data Collection and Representation (Tally & Bar Charts)


You surveyed a class of 20 students to find out which food stall they are most excited about.
Here are their responses:

Pizza, Sushi, Tacos, Burgers, Pizza, Pizza, Tacos, Sushi, Burgers, Pizza, Sushi, Sushi, Tacos,
Burgers, Pizza, Sushi, Sushi, Tacos, Pizza, Burgers.

1. Organizing the Data


Create a tally chart to organize the survey results.

Food Choice Tally Frequency


Pizza

Sushi

Tacos

Burgers

Total 20
2. Visualizing the Data
Using the frequency data from your tally chart, construct a bar chart. Remember to include
all necessary features of a successful mathematical graph (title, labeled axes, equal spacing).

(Draw your bar chart below)

3. Data Interpretation
Based on your graph, if the school can only afford to invite two food stalls to the festival,
which two should they choose and why?
Part 2: Combinations and Sample Spaces
To make ordering easier, the student council wants to create a "Festival Combo Meal." A
Combo Meal consists of choosing one main dish and one drink.

 Main Dishes available: Tacos (T), Sushi (S), Pizza (P)


 Drinks available: Juice (J), Water (W)

4. Determining the Sample Space


Using a systematic list, a 2-way table, or a tree diagram, show the complete sample space for
all the possible Combo Meals a student can order.

5. Total Outcomes
How many total possible outcomes (different meal combinations) are there in your sample
space?
Part 3: Theoretical Probability and Expected Outcomes
To raise money for charity, the student council sets up a "Lucky Dip" token game. You place
10 identical wooden tokens into a dark cloth bag:

 5 Red Tokens (Prize: A school sticker)


 3 Blue Tokens (Prize: A festival pencil)
 2 Gold Tokens (Prize: A free combo meal!)

A student pays $50, closes their eyes, and randomly pulls out one token.

6. Calculating Probability
Find the theoretical probability for each of the following events. Write your answer as a
fraction in its simplest form.

a) P(drawing a Gold token) =

b) P(drawing a Red token) =

c) P(drawing a token that is NOT Blue) =

7. Applying Probability (Expected Value)


During the first hour of the festival, exactly 50 students play the Lucky Dip game. Based on
theoretical probability, how many Gold tokens would you expect to be drawn during that
hour? Explain your mathematical reasoning.
