\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Mesut is investigating the average age of people who use his local sports centre. On a Monday morning, he asked people at the sports centre their ages. The results are shown in the table:\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Age: 19-30 |Frequency:24\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Mesut says, \"5 in 6 users of the sports centre are over 18. This shows that the sports centre should do more to encourage children and teenagers to use the sports centre.\"\r
