Is the above table sufficient to distribute each type of sweet to the correct student? Explain. If it is not sufficient, what is the alternative?
No, the table is not sufficient to distribute each type of sweet to the correct student.
Explanation: The table only shows how many students chose each sweet (frequency), but it does not show which specific student chose which sweet.
Alternative: To distribute sweets correctly to each student, we would need a list showing each student's name alongside their preferred sweet choice.
Explanation
The chapter distinguishes between frequency tables (which show counts) and raw data lists (which show individual responses). A frequency table tells us 'how many' but not 'who'. For personalized distribution, we need the original list with student names and their preferences.
Solution Steps
Identify that the frequency table shows counts, not individual preferences.
Recognize that frequency tables tell 'how many' but not 'who' chose each sweet.
Propose alternative: a list with student names and their preferred sweet choices.
