15 Questions
What is the term for a drawing that represents a real object or place, but is not the actual size?
Scale drawing
What is the name of the coordinate system used to graph points on a plane?
Cartesian plane
What type of graph is used to display the relationship between two variables?
Scatterplot
What is the term for a complete count of a population?
Census
What is the term for a line that best fits the data points on a scatterplot?
Trend line
What is the purpose of creating a scale drawing?
To represent a real object or place in a smaller or larger size while maintaining its proportions.
What is the advantage of using a graph to display data?
It allows for easy visualization and comparison of data, making it simpler to identify trends and patterns.
What is the difference between a census and a survey?
A census involves collecting data from the entire population, while a survey involves collecting data from a sample of the population.
How can bias be introduced in a survey?
Through poorly designed questions, biased sampling methods, or social desirability bias.
What is the purpose of a trend line on a scatterplot?
To identify the overall direction or pattern of the data.
What is the main difference between linear and area measures?
Linear measure is used to measure lengths or distances, while area measure is used to measure the size of a surface or region.
How do you determine the scale of a drawing if it is not given?
You can determine the scale of a drawing by comparing the dimensions of the drawing to the actual dimensions of the object or place.
What is the advantage of using a graph to display the relationship between two variables?
It allows you to visualize the relationship and identify patterns or trends.
What is the purpose of a pilot survey in data collection?
To test the survey questions and procedure before conducting the full survey.
What is the benefit of using a three-dimensional model to represent a real-world object?
It provides a more accurate and detailed representation of the object, allowing for better understanding and visualization.
Study Notes
Measurement
- Measurement involves linear measure, area measure, and volume and capacity
- Linear measure deals with measuring lengths and distances
- Area measure involves calculating the size of 2D shapes
- Volume and capacity measure the amount of space inside a 3D object and the amount of liquid it can hold
Scales, Plans, and Models
- Geometry involves points, lines, angles, and shapes
- Scale drawings are used to represent real-world objects in a smaller size
- Interpret scale drawings by understanding the ratio of the drawing to the real object
