DS4.2 q formulating key questions to generate data for a problem of interest q refining key questions after a trial q recognising the differences between a census and a sample q finding measures of location (mean, mode, median) for small sets of data q using a scientific or graphics calculator to determine the mean of a set of scores q using measures of location (mean, mode, median) and the range to analyse data that is displayed in a frequency distribution table, stem-and-leaf plot, or dot plot q collecting data using a random process q making predictions from a sample that may apply to the whole population q making predictions from a scatter diagram or graph q using spreadsheets to tabulate and graph data q analysing categorical data eg a survey of car colours |
q work in a group to design and conduct an investigation q use spreadsheets, databases, statistics packages, or other technology, to analyse collected data, present graphical displays, and discuss ethical issues that may arise from the data q detect bias in the selection of a sample q consider the size of the sample when making predictions about the population (Applying Strategies) q compare two sets of data by finding the mean, mode and/or median, and range of both sets q recognise that summary statistics may vary from sample to sample (Reasoning) q draw conclusions based on the analysis of data (eg a survey of the school canteen food) using the mean, mode and/or median, and range q interpret media reports and advertising that quote various statistics eg media ratings (Communicating) q question when it is more appropriate to use the mode or median, rather than the mean, when analysing data (Questioning)

DS5.1.1 q constructing a cumulative frequency table for ungrouped data q constructing a cumulative frequency histogram and polygon (ogive) q using a cumulative frequency polygon to find the median q grouping data into class intervals q constructing a frequency table for grouped data q constructing a histogram for grouped data q finding the mean using the class centre q finding the modal class |
q construct frequency tables and graphs from data obtained from different sources (eg the Internet) and discuss ethical issues that may arise from the data (Applying Strategies, Communicating, Reflecting) q read and interpret information from a cumulative frequency table or graph (Communicating) q compare the effects of different ways of grouping the same data (Reasoning) q use spreadsheets, databases, statistics packages, or other technology, to analyse collected data, present graphical displays, and discuss ethical issues that may arise from the data |
