    Study Notes

    Achievement Standard 1.1 (91944): Explore Data Using a Statistical Enquiry Process

    • Students explore data using a structured approach, a statistical enquiry process
    • This could include resources like CensusAtSchool New Zealand, Kaggle, Gapminder, and NZ.Stat
    • A statistical inquiry process, including the Statistical Enquiry Cycle (PPDAC), is used
    • Students communicate findings in context, such as verbal presentations with visuals or written reports
    • Merit-level involves completing the process with an introduction/purpose and a conclusion, including an investigative statement or question
    • Merit-level students may address where data came from, how it was collected (including variation), why the data was collected, who benefits from the investigation, or expectations of findings (hypothesis thinking)
    • Question/investigative statements are not required to be created by student; teachers should ensure well-formed statements are used
    • Students may refer to teacher guidance for examples of questions/statements
    • Excellence: Incorporates contextual and statistical thinking in at least two places, and reflect on the inquiry process

    Source of the Data

    • Students explain the source and how the data was collected for primary data
    • For secondary data, explanations include where it came from and its reliability
    • Factors influencing data quality, such as variation in primary data collection, are explained

    Relationships Between 2 Numeric Variables

    • Students understand and answer questions about data, including the following:
    • How numeric and categorical data can be collected
    • Context of the data and its variables
    • Types of variation during data collection
    • How to manage variation
    • Appropriate visualisations
    • Useful measures (e.g., statistics)
    • What makes a good scatter graph (with 'y' vs 'x' title)
    • Data for this must be numeric

    Time Series Investigations

    • Sources of variation in data collection processes, such as:
    • Natural or real variation
    • Occasion-to-occasion variation (e.g., speed/aptitude tests improving with practice)
    • Measurement variation (e.g., measuring body temperature or an object's mass)
    • Induced variation (e.g., consistency of conditions in data collection)
    • Sample variation (variation during sampling)

    Probability Investigations

    • Students understand and answer questions including: types of experiments/data collection, data context, data variation, how to manage variation in data, suitable types of visualisations, and appropriate statistical measures.
