Interpreting statistical and chance situations resources

Students interpret data presented in a frequency table to calculate percentages and make comparisons.

Students predict the probability about the product of two dice and test their prediction by conducting an experiment that estimates the probability.

Students read the description of a number of surveys and explain why the sample is biased.

Students identify the most likely combination of throws for a fair coin, and explain their reasons.

Students compare a data table and a line graph and identify features that are missing or incorrect in the graph.

Students interpret a scatterplot and identify statements about both details and overall information.

Students interpret a tally chart to answer questions about the proportion and probability of outcomes from a coin toss.

Students show understanding of probability by selecting a fraction to represent the colours of choosing an article of clothing from a drawer.

Students use fractions to describe the probability of an arrow landing on different bands of a target.

Students predict whether two dice games are fair and give their reasons. They then play each game (investigate) fifty times and explain their results.

Students interpret a back stem-and-leaf graph to answer questions about a measurement investigation.

Students compare the overall distribution of two graphs and describe their reasons.

Students identify the most likely sequence of tosses of a fair coin and explain their reasons.

In this practical task, students collect data on the number of people in cars passing the school. They then record this, in a table and use the information to make a prediction.

Students identify a correct statement about the overall distribution of a graph and explain their reasoning.

Students show probabilities by shading a spinner.

Students determine the probability of finding a lost cat in various locations marked on a grid map.

Students explain who is most likely to win a game based on spinners, and how the game could be made fair.

This task sees what a students understanding of probability is.

Students decide if a graph is suitable to display category data and explain the reasons.
