Evaluation

Performance Task: Blackboard Exam (Week 12)
Written Work: Blackboard Exam (Week 12)

Lesson 10: Presentation of Data

Ungrouped Data: Data that is not organized, or arranged from highest to lowest or vice versa.
Grouped Data: Data organized into classes or categories.
Tabulation: Concise process of classifying data and arranging it in a table.
Tabular Presentation: More concise than a textual presentation.
Stem-and-Leaf Plot: A table that sorts data in a pattern. Stem is the first digit number, leaf is the last digit number.
Column Graph: Data presented in rectangles along a baseline (y-axis), heights represent the amounts.
Bar Graph: Similar to a column graph, but bars are horizontal.
Line Graph: Connects data points with lines.
Textual Form: Presenting data in paragraph form.
Tabular Form: Presenting data in rows and columns.
Graphical Form: Presenting data visually.

Lesson 10.1: Textual Presentation

Example: Presenting student performance in a statistics test, including characteristics of data (highest, lowest, average).

Lesson 10.2: Tabular Presentation

Parts of a table: Table number, table title, column headers, row classifier, body, source notes.
Stem-and-leaf plot: Separates numbers (two digits, three digits etc.) into stem (first digit) and leaf (last digit).

Lesson 10.3: Graphical Presentation

Types of graphs: Column graphs, bar graphs, line graphs (time series and frequency distributions).
Examples: Presenting Company sales data, Company B sales vs. net income, and Company A, B, and C net income.
Analyzing graphical presentation using the data given in an example.

Lesson 10.4: Application in MS Excel

Steps for Creating Charts:
- Selecting data, ensuring appropriate data ranges
- Using the Insert Tab.
- Creating the actual chart type(s)

Lesson 10.5: Frequency Distribution Table

Ungrouped Frequency Distribution: Presents data without grouping into classes.
Grouped Frequency Distribution: Groups data into specific intervals or classes to show the distribution and frequency.
Lower Class Limits: Smallest numbers that can belong to the different classes.
Upper Class Limits: Largest numbers that can belong to the different classes.
Class Boundaries: Numbers used to separate classes without gaps.
Class Midpoint: Average of class limits.
Class Width: Difference between consecutive class boundaries or limits.

Lesson 10.6: Histogram

Shows the frequencies of data in different intervals.
Similar to a vertical bar graph, but no gaps between bars.

Lesson 10.7: Ogive

Cumulative histogram.
Useful for finding how many data values are above or below a particular value.

Lesson 10.8: Pareto Diagram

Used for prioritizing problems or causes of problems.
Presents data in decreasing order relative to an effect.
Shows the relative importance of different factors.

10.9-10.10 Data Presentation: Excel Application and Additional Topics

Creating Charts in Excel (column charts, line charts, pie charts)
Detailed instruction on selecting data ranges for graph creation and how to make graphs.
