AC9M7ST02

create different types of numerical data displays including stem-and-leaf plots using software where appropriate; describe and compare the distribution of data, commenting on the shape, centre and spread including outliers and determining the range, median, mean and mode

Taught alongside it

The rest of Statistics in Year 7.

AC9M7ST01

acquire data sets for discrete and continuous numerical variables and calculate the range, median, mean and mode; make and justify decisions about which measures of central tendency provide useful insights into the nature of the distribution of data

AC9M7ST03

plan and conduct statistical investigations involving data for discrete and continuous numerical variables; analyse and interpret distributions of data and report findings in terms of shape and summary statistics

The same idea, year by year

Where AC9M7ST02 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Year 7.

  1. Year 6AC9M6ST01interpret and compare data sets for ordinal and nominal categorical, discrete and continuous numerical variables using comparative displays or visualisations and digital tools; compare distributions in terms of mode, range and shape
  2. Year 6AC9M6ST02identify statistically informed arguments presented in traditional and digital media; discuss and critique methods, data representations and conclusions
  3. Year 6AC9M6ST03plan and conduct statistical investigations by posing and refining questions or identifying a problem and collecting relevant data; analyse and interpret the data and communicate findings within the context of the investigation
  4. Year 8AC9M8ST01investigate techniques for data collection including census, sampling, experiment and observation, and explain the practicalities and implications of obtaining data through these techniques
  5. Year 8AC9M8ST02analyse and report on the distribution of data from primary and secondary sources using random and non-random sampling techniques to select and study samples
  6. Year 8AC9M8ST03compare variations in distributions and proportions obtained from random samples of the same size drawn from a population and recognise the effect of sample size on this variation
  7. Year 8AC9M8ST04plan and conduct statistical investigations involving samples of a population; use ethical and fair methods to make inferences about the population and report findings, acknowledging uncertainty
