Do you
think there were more draws or away wins? |
It is easier to answer questions
like this if the scores are in a table.
| b |
Draw
a table like Table 2. |

Saturday's matches
| c |
Go
through the results you are using. Use tally marks to
record each home win, away win, no-score draw, and score
draw on your table. Count up the tally marks and write
the totals in the last column of your table. |
| d |
How
many home wins were there? How many away wins? Which is
more likely to win, the home team or the away team? |
| e |
How
many draws were there altogether? |
| f |
In
how many matches did spectators see at least one goal? |
Comparing Divisions
Let us see if more goals are
scored in one division than another.

Table 3 - Goals scored on one
Saturday
| b |
For
each division find out how many goals were scored by home
teams and by away teams. Write these numbers in your
table. Also write down in the last row the total number
of goals scored. |
| c |
Were
more goals scored in Division 1 than Division 2? Do you
expect the same to happen next week? Explain your answer. |
| d |
Were
more goals scored in Division 3 than Division 4? Do you
expect the same to happen next week 9 |
| e |
What
other information would help you to answer c and d more
fully? |
| f |
How
many teams are there in Division 2 and in Division 3? Why
is it unfair to compare the total goals scored in
Division 2 with the total goals scored in Division 3? Can
you think of a fair way to compare goals scored in
Division 2 and 3? |
| g |
Find
the average number of goals scored per match
in each of the four divisions. (Add up the number of
goals scored and divide by the number of matches played.) |
