Out of thepopulation of 450 bankers in the region she sampled 200 of them anddistributed the questionnaires to solicit the needed information.Only 165 returned the questionnaires and answered all questionswell. As part of the study she has presented some of her results inthe form of the tables below:

Table1: Monthly expenses for social media data bundle Amount (GH¢) Frequency Percentage Less than 10 15 9.1 10-15 20 12.1 16-20 38 23.0 21-25 76 46.1 26-30 10 6.1 Above 30 6 3.6 Total 165 100

1. The student has approached you to assist her with thediscussion of her results. Since you don’t want to do her work forher you have agreed to discuss the results in Table 2 to guide her.Do your discussion of the results in Table 2 by citing someimaginary works tosupport.                                                                                                                  [5 marks]
2. Why is that the responses in Table 1 amount to 100% while inTable 2 the sum of the responses exceeds 100%.?                                                                                          [3 marks]
3. Solomon, an MSc Financial Risk Management student of PUCG alsodid a similar study by using ALL the 850bankers from another region. Explain any two(2) reasons why the student from UDS would sample 200respondents but the PUCG student would use the entire populationfor the study.                                                                            [5marks]
