Data handling: Represent, analyse and interpret data using various techniques

• Identify situations or issues that can be dealt with through statistical methods.
  Range: Data given should include problems relating to health, social, economic, cultural, political and environmental issues.
  Note: Not for examination purposes but for class activities only.
• Discuss the use of appropriate and efficient methods to record, organise and interpret given data by making use of:
  • Manageable data sample sizes (less than or equal to [latex]\scriptsize 10[/latex]) and which are representative of the population.
  • Graphical representations and numerical summaries which are consistent with the data, and clear and appropriate to the situation and target audience.
    Note: Discussion only, not expected to draw again.
  • Compare different representations of given data.
• Justify and apply statistics to answer questions about problems.
• Discuss new questions that arise from the modelling of data.
• Take a position on an issue by comparing different representations of given data.

By the end of this unit you will be able to:

• Identify situations or issues that can be dealt with through statistical methods.
• Make resolutions to maximise efficiency from given data which has been organised and graphically represented.
