There are no significant differences in the populations of different regions of NewcastleTo answer this hypothesis you will need to explore various aspects of the census

data from 2001. You should consider;1. The age structures of the 4 regions - draw a graph or 4 separate graphs to

compare the age structures of the areas. You should use the % data. A bar chart for all 4 areas or 4 bar graphs would suffice.

2. The ethnicity of Newcastle - are there variations in ethnic makeup? Why or why not? (a log scale on the Y axis might help, or eliminating the White:British population data)

3. The wealth of the areas - produce a graph to compare the wealth of these 4 areas. A divided bar graph would work well, graph only the first 5 rows and switch the rows once done.

4. Graph the data in the education tables - are there variations in this area?

You will need to analyse the results for each. If you finish this then consider completing the composite table by ranking the

criteria (1 for the highest value, 4 for the lowest) and discuss the results Once done write one side of A4 in response to the hypothesis
