CORE – Data Analysis
The Australian Bureau of Statistics collects data on the travel movements of persons arriving in
Australia. A visitor is considered to be a short-term visitor if their stay is for less than one year.
Question 1 (4 marks)
a. The number of short-term visitors who arrived in August 2019 is the sum of the second column.
109 + 231 + 382 + 68 = 790 1M
b. The number of the visitors who stated that their reason for travel for travel was a holiday was
324 + 382 = 706
The percentage who came in May = 324
706
× 100 = 46% correct to the nearest percentage. 1M
c. The information provided does not support the contention that reason for travel is associated with
month because the percentage for each person’s reason for travel is similar for May and August.
