JOHOR EDUCATION DEPARTMENT MINISTRY OF EDUCATION MALAYSIA ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT WORK 2013
The Household Expenditure Survey (HES) was first conducted in the year 1957/58. Beginning 1993/94 it was carried out at an interval of five years and the recent survey was undertaken in 2009/2010. The survey covered private households in urban and rural areas. The main objective of HES was to collect information on the level and pattern of consumption expenditure by households on a comprehensive range of goods and services. This information served as the basis for determining the goods and services to be included in the basket of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). It was also used to represent the expenditure pattern of households in Malaysia. However, over the years, demand for data from the survey has increased and it is now used for several purposes. HES has become an invaluable source of information for government and private sectors, researchers and university students.

Based on your table above, (i) represent your data using three different statistical graphs. (ii) find the mean and standard deviation of allocation of income by using at least two methods. Give your comments.

PART B
(i) Collect data from 5 of your friends and tabulate your findings as in Table 1.

(ii) Compare and comment your findings. (iii) Draw on the same axes, (a) line graph (b) bar chart to represent education and recreation categories for six families. Give your comments. (iv) Find mean and standard deviation for education and recreation categories by using at least two methods. Give your comments.

PART C
(i) Find the weightage in degrees, for each category based on the monthly income for your family and your five friends. Hence, represent the weightages of any two families in the form of pie chart, another two families in the form of bar chart and another two families in the ratio form. (ii) The allocation of monthly income is expected to change next year as below: Categories Food Utility Transportation Education Recreation Others Allocation of Income Increase by 10 % Increase by 5 % Unchanged Increase by 3 % Decrease by 2 % Increase by 10 %

Find the corresponding expected monthly income from the above information for you and your five friends
