Table 12 and Figures 7 to 10 will allow the reader to make many different comparisons based on
population group by sex, population group by age, or sex by age. For example, the lack of a differential
undercount between males and females holds across all population groups (Figure 11). The same figure
also shows that the undercount for both white males and white females is significantly higher than that
for all other population groups by sex. White males are significantly more undercounted than all other
population group/sex groups, except white females. Finally, except for the difference between black
males and coloured females as well as black males and coloured males, there are no other significant
differences in undercount among the population group/sex groups.
