Students identify the appropriate type of graph for a statistical investigation about dice throws. They also justify the use of a histogram for an investigation about heights of people, indicating their understanding of discrete and continuous data.
Students are required to construct a composite bar graph based on Statistics New Zealand Time Use Survey data and are then required to make comparative statements based on gender.
Students conduct a practical, statistical investigation. They decide on a question, categories, conduct the survey, tally and graph the results on a bar graph.
