Data representation and interpretation

Based on the Australian Curriculum, Data representation and interpretation in Mathematics Year 10 includes:

• ACMSP278 Calculate and interpret the mean and standard deviation of data and use these to compare data sets
• ACMSP279 Use information technologies to investigate bivariate numerical data sets. Where appropriate use a straight line to describe the relationship allowing for variation
• ACMSP253 Evaluate statistical reports in the media and other places by linking claims to displays, statistics and representative data
• ACMSP252 Investigate and describe bivariate numerical data where the independent variable is time
• ACMSP251 Use scatter plots to investigate and comment on relationships between two numerical variables
• ACMSP250 Compare shapes of box plots to corresponding histograms and dot plots
• ACMSP249 Construct and interpret box plots and use them to compare data sets
• ACMSP248 Determine quartiles and interquartile range
