Question 2.2 [3 marks]

Table showing the average number of tulips per square metre over twelve months
in the park.
Complete the table above by adding the missing variables (a) and (b).

1 answer

It seems like you've referenced a table that contains data regarding the average number of tulips per square meter over a twelve-month period, and you need help completing the table by filling in the missing variables (a) and (b). However, since I cannot see the table or specific data you are referring to, I can offer some guidance on how to approach filling in missing data.

Here’s a general method you can follow:

  1. Identify the Missing Variables: Determine what the variables (a) and (b) represent in the context of the data. These could be average number of tulips for a specific month, total tulips for a different area, or any other measurements.

  2. Analyze the Patterns: If you have some data for other months, look for trends or patterns. For example, if you see that the number of tulips increases during spring months (March to May) and decreases in winter (December to February), you can estimate values based on these trends.

  3. Use Mathematical Relationships: If either (a) or (b) can be determined based on the other months' data (for example, if you have a set growth rate or average that can be calculated from existing data), you can use that to fill in the blanks.

  4. Check for Consistency: Once you have proposed values for (a) and (b), check to see if they make sense within the broader context of the data. Compare against the highest and lowest values in the table to ensure they fall within a reasonable range.

If you can provide the values or the existing data from the table, I would be happy to help you make more specific calculations or suggestions!
