Students decide on the best sample of students for a given survey and answer a multiple choice question. They also answer a question on sample size for best accuracy.
Students interpret a histogram showing the number of vehicles travelling at different speeds past a speed camera. Students need to calculate a percentage and the median to complete this task.
Students firstly find the mean and median length of pencils. Secondly students find the median, and lower and upper quartile for the number of cars that passed through the school gate.
Students study a box-and-whisker graph of Social Studies marks for 4 classes. They answer questions interpreting the data, and comparing, range and best performance.
Students construct a composite dot plot of shots at a basketball hoop by two classes. They identify the mode and range, and make statements about the results.
Students display data on a back-to-back stem-and-leaf graph to show the times taken to complete two walks. The longer of the two walks is then identified.
Students study a table of test results percentages for a range of subjects. Students answer questions involving mean, median, mode and range. They also draw a stem-and-leaf graph.
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 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 construct a back-to-back stem-and-leaf graph for heights of trees. They then answer a question on range and make a statement comparing the heights of akeake and kōhūhū.
