Content description

interpret and compare data sets for ordinal and nominal categorical, discrete and continuous numerical variables using comparative displays or visualisations and digital tools; compare distributions in terms of mode, range and shape

Elaborations

determining the range for a numerical data set by finding the difference between the highest and the lowest value in the set and comparing the range for different data sets
representing acquired numerical data sets using side-by-side column graphs, comparing the spread of each data set using the range, the highest frequency for each data set using the mode, and discussing the shape
representing ordinal data collected through surveys, using visualisation tools including dot plots and bar charts, and discussing the distribution of data in terms of shape
using technology to access data sets and graphing software to construct side-by-side column graphs or stacked line graphs; and comparing data sets that are grouped by gender, year level, age group or other variables, and discussing findings
