Q2. A holiday park has three different areas to stay in. Each area has three different types of home.
The table shows the number of families staying in the holiday park during the summer of 2013.
The manager sends a questionnaire to 60 families to ask them about their holiday.
The sample of size 60 is stratified by type of home and area.

Q4. There are 36 men in a running club.
The pie chart shows information about their favourite races.
Men
There are 20 women in the running club.
Here is information about their favourite races.
The same proportion of women prefer the half marathon as men.
The same number of women prefer 5 km races as men.
Equal numbers of women prefer 10 km races and the marathon.
Use this information to draw a fully labelled pie chart to show the favourite races of the women.
