Flashcards

Line graph

A type of graph that displays information as a series of data points connected by straight lines, showing trends and changes over time.

Bar Graph

A graph that uses rectangular bars to represent data in categories. The height or length of the bars represents the value.

Pie Graph

A circular graph divided into slices, where each slice represents a proportion of the whole. The size of each slice is proportional to the value it represents.

Histogram

A graph that uses bars to represent the frequency distribution of data. The width of each bar represents the class interval, and the height represents the frequency.

What is a lower-class boundary?

The lower boundary of each class interval used in creating a graph. It represents the lowest value that can belong to that class.

What is a Bar Graph?

The representation of data using bars of different heights, similar to a Histogram. Each bar represents a specific value, and the height of the bar reflects its frequency.

Study Notes

Grade 7 Statistics Topics

  • Opening Prayer - A prayer is included.
  • Mental Computation - Grade 7 statistics includes mental computation.
  • Statistics: Organizing and Presenting Data through Graphs - The lesson focuses on organizing and presenting statistical data through graphs.
  • Learning Objectives - Students will learn to identify various graph types, construct graphs, and demonstrate enthusiasm in presenting data.
  • What is a Graph? - A graph is a visual representation of data showing variation in one or more variables. Graphs are pictorial representations of data that makes it easier for understanding and interpretation.
  • Types of Graphs - The different types of graphs mentioned are: Line, Bar, Pie, Histogram, and Ogive.
  • Line Graph - A line graph displays data that changes over time. It connects data points with lines.
  • Bar Graph - A bar graph uses rectangular bars to represent categorical data. Bars can be vertical or horizontal.
  • Pie Graph - A pie chart displays data as sectors (slices) of a circle. It represents relative sizes of data components.
  • Histogram - A histogram shows frequency distributions of variables in intervals. It is a type of bar graph.
  • Ogive Graph - An ogive is a cumulative frequency polygon. It's a graph displaying cumulative frequencies (like a running total), where values are plotted against class boundaries.
  • Cigarette Sales for 5 Days (Example) - This table shows daily cigarette sales. There is data for 5 days with daily figures.
  • Bar Graph (Details) - Bar graphs use bars to represent data; bars can be vertical or horizontal, and the height or length of the bar is proportional to the value it represents.
  • Pie Chart/Pie Graph (Details) - A pie chart is a circle divided into sectors (slices) and each sector shows a portion of the whole. Relative sizes of the data are shown through slices.
  • Examples and Exercises - Charts and examples are given with exercises showing how to calculate percentage, central angles. Data sets for creating cumulative frequency graphs, histograms, and related calculations are included.
  • Activity: Mental Math A & B (270 – 271) - A mental math activity is assigned.
  • Assignment: Written Math A (271 – #16 only) - Students have an assignment concerning written math.
  • Closing Prayer - The lesson ends with a closing prayer.
