Curriculum content descriptions

acquire, validate and represent data for nominal and ordinal categorical and discrete numerical variables, to address a question of interest or purpose using software including spreadsheets; discuss and report on data distributions in terms of highest frequency (mode) and shape, in the context of the data (AC9M5ST01)

Elaborations
  • recognising that ordinal data is a form of categorical data even though the data being collected might be numbers; for example, a rating scale using numbers \(1 – 5\) to represent the categories people can choose from when asked, “What rating would you give this film out of \(5\)?”
  • determining the mode for a set of data and discussing that there may be more than one mode
  • identifying the best methods of presenting data to illustrate the results of investigations and justifying the choice of representations
  • acquiring data through chance experiments, discussing and reporting on the distribution of outcomes and how this relates to equal and unequal outcomes
  • using digital systems to validate data; for example, recognising the difference between numerical, text and date formats in spreadsheets; setting data types in a spreadsheet to make sure a date is input correctly
  • investigating data relating to Australia’s reconciliation process with First Nations Australians, posing questions, discussing and reporting on findings
General capabilities
  • Critical and creative thinking Critical and Creative Thinking
  • Numeracy Numeracy
