AC9M10ST02

compare data distributions for continuous numerical variables using appropriate data displays including boxplots; discuss the shapes of these distributions in terms of centre, spread, shape and outliers in the context of the data

Taught alongside it

The rest of Statistics in Year 10.

AC9M10ST01

analyse claims, inferences and conclusions of statistical reports in the media, including ethical considerations and identification of potential sources of bias

AC9M10ST03

construct scatterplots and comment on the association between the 2 numerical variables in terms of strength, direction and linearity

AC9M10ST04

construct two-way tables and discuss possible relationship between categorical variables

AC9M10ST05

plan and conduct statistical investigations of situations that involve bivariate data; evaluate and report findings with consideration of limitations of any inferences

The same idea, year by year

Where AC9M10ST02 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Year 10.

  1. Year 9AC9M9ST01analyse reports of surveys in digital media and elsewhere for information on how data was obtained to estimate population means and medians
  2. Year 9AC9M9ST02analyse how different sampling methods can affect the results of surveys and how choice of representation can be used to support a particular point of view
  3. Year 9AC9M9ST03represent the distribution of multiple data sets for numerical variables using comparative representations; compare data distributions with consideration of centre, spread and shape, and the effect of outliers on these measures
  4. Year 9AC9M9ST04choose appropriate forms of display or visualisation for a given type of data; justify selections and interpret displays for a given context
  5. Year 9AC9M9ST05plan and conduct statistical investigations involving the collection and analysis of different kinds of data; report findings and discuss the strength of evidence to support any conclusions
