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
  • Creating scale drawings involves using ratios and proportions to create an accurate model
  • Three-dimensional objects can be represented using scale drawings and models
  • Right-angled triangles are used to solve problems involving heights and distances

Graphs in Practical Situations

  • The Cartesian plane is a grid used to create graphs
  • Using graphs involves plotting points and creating lines to show relationships between variables
  • Graphs are used to visualize and analyze data in practical situations

Data Collection

  • A census involves collecting data from an entire population
  • Surveys involve collecting data from a sample of the population
  • Simple survey procedure involves selecting a sample, collecting data, and analyzing results
  • Sources of bias in surveys include non-response bias and response bias
  • Bivariate scatterplots are used to visualize the relationship between two variables
  • Trend lines are used to show the pattern or direction of the data
