Question 1
The table below gives information about the production of cocoa beans in six regions between 1992 and 1998.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The table displays statistics on cocoa bean production in tons between 1992 and 1998 in six distinct locations throughout the globe.
According to the statistics, cocoa output in Asia and Oceania is expanding gradually every two years. Production figures in other places are quite volatile. Africa’s output fell dramatically to 25000 tons in 1998.
The output of cocoa beans in Asia and Oceania has expanded throughout the years. Oceania’s numbers are lower than those in Asia. Asia’s output increased from 119000 tons in 1992 to 436000 tons in 1998. Whereas in Oceania, cocoa output was just 40000 tons in 1992 and 77000 tons in 1998.
Additionally, figures from North and Central America reveal that cocoa bean output was the same in 1992 and 1998. Production in this area almost dropped in 1994, then gradually climbed until 1998. While other areas produce almost the same amount of cocoa beans each year, Africa had a significant reduction in cocoa bean output in 1998.
Question 2
The two tables below show the number of international students from different resource countries in Canada and the USA in two school years.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
There are two tables that show the number of foreign students studying in Canada and the United States in 2002 and 2003, as well as the percentage change in the number of students between the two years.
Looking at the overall number of students in 2002 and 2003, it is clear that the number of Indian students in the United States fell in 2003. Despite the fact that the percentage change in Canada is greater, the overall number of international students in the United States is more.
The number of Chinese students in Canada has increased by 45%, from 5400 in 2002 to 7850 in 2003. However, the number of Chinese students in the United States has increased by just 6%. India has the biggest number of overseas students in the United States, however their numbers fell by 9% in 2003. Meanwhile, the number of Indian students studying in Canada increased by 35% from 2100 in 2002 to 2835 in 2003.
The growth of Canadian students in the United States is equivalent to the increase in American students in Canada. The increases are 7% and 9%, respectively. The number of foreign students in Canada increased by 17%, whereas the number in the United States increased by just 2%.
Question 3
The table below organizes the value of Kiwis exported from New Zealand to five other countries in 2010, 2011, and 2012. The total statistics for Japan, which climbed the greatest and were by far the highest overall, are the most remarkable characteristic of the graph. China and Russia raised their imports and ranked second and fourth, respectively, while Mexico and Saudi Arabia’s export values fell, with Saudi Arabia importing the least.
Japan emerged as the frontrunner among the countries that experienced growth, with expenditures rising from $271,100,000 in 2010 to $287,400,000 prior to a final surge to $325,300,000. China followed a similar trajectory, growing by around $10,000,000 every year to conclude at $94,000,000. Russia imported less Kiwis, beginning with less than a million at $968,000, almost tripling to $1,585,000, and importing $2,494,000 by 2012.
When Mexican imports were valued at $6,000,000, they decreased by over 50% to $2,400,000 before rebounding marginally to $3,300,000. Saudi Arabia dropped more consistently ($290,000 to $106,000, then $82,000).
Question 4
The data presented in the table pertains to the percentages of individuals in one specific municipality who utilized bicycles in 2012, categorized by age. In general, the data in the table indicates that during the specified time period, a significantly greater percentage of females engaged in cycling than males, albeit only marginally for the earliest age group. With the exception of the greatest age group (60+), which deviated from this pattern, age was a clear predictor of decreased cycling activity for both males and females (0–9 years). This group also contained the highest proportion of cyclists.
In the town, slightly more than half of juvenile boys and girls aged 0 to 9 years rode bicycles, with 52.5 percent and 51.2 percent, respectively, representing the narrowest gender disparity of any age group. In contrast, only 25.1% of males aged 10 to 19 rode bicycles, compared to 43.6% of girls in the same age group. This trend persisted among young women aged 20 to 39, where 18.2% engaged in cycling, compared to 10.8% of young males. The gender disparities among cyclists aged 40–59 were comparatively insignificant, comprising 13.7% females and 9.3% males. Subsequently, the over-60s reversed this trend by having a greater proportion of cyclists than the previous two age groups: 14.6% for males and 19.8% for females.
Question 5
The chart below shows the value of one country’s exports in various categories during 2015 and 2016. The table shows the percentage change in
each category of exports in 2016 compared with 2015.
Between 2015 and 2016, the graph and table provided depict the fluctuations in a nation’s export revenues across multiple sectors, denominated in billions of dollars. When considering the industry as a whole, it is evident that all revenue categories witnessed increases, with the exception of jewels and jewelry, which encountered a moderate decline. Producing engineered goods and petroleum constituted the majority of earnings, whereas textiles and engineered goods experienced the most substantial percentile increases.
Fuel products (from slightly over $61 billion in 2015 to approximately $63 billion in 2016) and manufactured commodities (from $58 billion to $62 billion) constituted the two primary export categories. This results in a 3% increase for petroleum and an 8.5% increase for engineered products, which is significantly greater.
The other products were significantly inferior in value when compared to these two exports. The only export to decline was gems and jewelry, which fell 5.18 percent from $43 billion to $41 billion. Notwithstanding this decline, agricultural product revenues remained stagnant during the period, peaking at approximately $31 billion in 2015 and $31 billion in 2016. The textile industry’s revenue peaked at approximately $26 billion in 2015, but by 2016 it had nearly caught pace with the agriculture sector.
