Introduction: Data collection


In Grade 7 we learnt that if we want to solve a problem, the first step is to collect data about the problem. We can use data collected by other people for different purposes (called secondary data) or we can collect new data directly from the source (called primary data). The population refers to the entire group of individuals or objects in which we are interested, in generalising the conclusions of our research. If we are able to ask everybody (the population) then it is called a census. If the group (population) is very large, we can ask some of the people this is called a sample of the population. The best way to prevent bias in a survey is to select the sample using a random method. Surveys can help you decide what needs changing, where money should be spent, what products to purchase, what problems there might be, or may answer many other questions you might have. A common method of collecting primary data for a survey is to use a questionnaire. So if we want to know something, we need to start with posing questions or data (information) collection. In this lesson we are going to look at discrete and continuous data and how to collect it from the most appropriate source by asking questions.

Concept development
1. Ask students to define "continuous data" and "discrete data". Once students have had some time to reflect on these terms and develop a definition in their own words, provide them with the following: Discrete data is data that can only take certain values Continuous data is data that can take any value (within a range) 2. Ask learners to classify the following examples as "continuous data" or discrete data". The amount of rainfall recorded each day for seven days (discrete) The amount of money earned during an eight-hour workday (continuous) The weight of newspapers collected at each house on a route (discrete) The length of hair-growth over a one-month period (continuous)

3. You think most people in your school get to school by bus. You want to investigate this by means of a survey. A tally chart can be used to record your data. Write a hypothesis for your survey. Remember: (Hypothesis: most learners from our A hypothesis is an school use the bus to get to school.) idea that you want to investigate to see if it 4. Who will you use for your survey? is true or false. (Answer: population all learners of the school, or a sample only a portion of them, randomly selected, say 20% per grade) 5. If the population is too big and you need to select a sample, how will you go about selecting a sample to eliminate bias? (Answer: to eliminate bias the sample must be randomly selected across the grades and across the possible transport methods. If we decided to only survey 20% of the population, it will be biased to stand at the bus stop and ask every fifth learner. It will also be biased if we only ask learners in the higher or lower grades. Instead, it will be less biased if we take an alphabetical list of all learners and select every fifth name to participate in the survey.) 6. Design a simple questionnaire for your survey, using multiple choice questions. Your data must also include: a. Grade of learner b. Gender c. Transport method Answer: Transport survey for Rhodes High We want to determine the most popular method of transport to school. Please assist us by answering a few questions. Which grade are you?

If other, please specify:

Homework: See problem solving. Learners do the following in their writing books. 1. Classify the following data as either discrete data or continuous data. a. The number of times that a movement authority is sent to a train from a relay station is recorded for several trains over a two-week period. The movement authority, which is an electronic transmission, is sent repeatedly until a return signal is received from the train. b. A quality technician records the length of material in a roll product for several products selected from a production line. c. The number of aces in five-card poker hands is noted by a gambler over several weeks of gambling at a casino. 2. Survey people in your school to find out what their favourite movie is. a. Write a hypothesis for your survey project. b. Who will you ask? Define your population. c. How will you select a sample from your population? d. How will you ensure that your survey eliminates bias? e. Design a simple questionnaire for your survey, using multiple-choice questions to establish grade, gender, favourite movie type and favourite movie.

Consolidation
Data can be classified as discrete or continuous data. Discrete data contains distinct values, whereas continuous data can assume any value within a range. For example, the number of phone calls a company receives would be discrete data. You can only have distinct, whole number values. You can't have, for example, 4,375 calls. There is either a phone call or there isn't; there aren't fractions of calls. Continuous data would be like temperatures, lengths, and so on. Usually, anything you have to use a measuring device for is continuous data. Temperatures, lengths, etc can all be anywhere on a range; they don't have to have distinct values. Learners who need support: Pair learners with competent peers and work through the concept development examples again, but change the numbers before doing the problem solving activities. Learners who are more than competent: Provide peer support.

Problem solving
Design the survey In making a survey, it is very important that you first decide what questions you want answered. Make sure that you are asking all the questions that interest you. There won't be time to go back to those surveyed to get more information. Write a hypothesis for your survey. Create a survey that lists all of the popular sodas. Be sure to create an "other" option. Ask how much soda each student drinks per day. You can define soda consumption around a common quantity such as millilitres. Will the choice of soda be discreet or continuous data? What type of data will the consumption of soda be?

Grade 8: Term 3: Week 7: Day 2

Introduction: Organise data


After we have collected data, we need to organise it to be able to make some conclusions. We can organise the data using tallies, tables and stem-and-leaf tables. Tally is a way of counting data to make it easy to display in a table. A tally mark is used to keep track of counting. Vertical bars are made for each number, and a diagonal bar is made for every five numbers, forming bundles of 5s. When the set of data values are spread out, it is difficult to set up a frequency table for every data value as there will be too many rows in the table. So we group the data into class intervals (or groups) to help us organise, interpret and analyse the data. Ideally, we should have between five and ten rows in a frequency table. Bear this in mind when deciding on the size of the class interval (or group). Stem-and-leaf tables (plots) are special tables where each data value is split into a leaf (usually the last digit) and a stem (the other digits). The "stem" values are listed down, and the "leaf" values go right (or left) from the stem values. The "stem" is used to group the scores and each "leaf" indicates the individual scores within each group. In this lesson we are going to look at how to determine the group intervals, also called class intervals, when we group the data.

Concept development
Write the following table on the board. The number of calls from motorists per day for roadside service was recorded for a month. The results were as follows:
28 122 217 130 120 86 80 90 82 120 140 109 120

75

145 187 113


104 97 75

90

68

174 194 170

123 100

How will we group these numbers into class intervals? Ask learners to make suggestions. After discussing their suggestions, show them the following method. Smallest value = 28 Highest value = 217 Difference = highest value smallest value = 217 28 = 189

Now we decide that we want five class intervals.


Therefore:
189 5

= 37,8 = 40 (round off to the next 10)

Now we can construct a table with three columns, and then write the data groups or class intervals in the first column. The size of each group is 40. So the groups will start at 0, 40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 to include all of the data. Class interval 0 - 39 40 - 79 80 - 119 120 - 159 160 - 199 200 - 239 Next we can go through the list of data values. For the first data value in the list, 28, place a tally mark against the group 0-39 in the second column. For the second data value in the list, 122, place a tally mark against the group 120-159 in the second column. For the third data value in the list, 217, place a tally mark against the group 200-239 in the second column. Continue this process until all of the data values in the set are tallied. Class interval 0 - 39 40 - 79 80 - 119 120 - 159 160 - 199 200 - 239 Homework: See problem solving. Learners do the following in their writing books. 1. The data shows the mass of 40 students in a class to the nearest kg. Construct a frequency table for the data using an appropriate scale. 55 60 75 49 52 70 48 64 66 76 57 58 65 62 71 73 54 57 76 61 55 69 71 61 53 59 51 78 63 56 64 63 76 63 67 72 78 62 76 71 Tally Frequency 1 5 12 8 4 1 Tally Frequency Note: we need six groups (one more than we thought at first).

3. A researcher is interested in knowing how many calls teenagers make in a month. He monitored the calls of 18 learners randomly selected from your school. The following data was recorded during the month: 53, 35, 67, 48, 63, 42, 48, 55, 33, 50, 46, 45, 59, 40, 47, 51, 66, 53 Construct a frequency table for the data using an appropriate scale.

Consolidation
When the set of data values is spread out, it is difficult to set up a frequency table for every data value as there will be too many rows in the table. So we group the data into class intervals (or groups) to help us organise, interpret and analyse the data. To group the data into class intervals: Step 1: Find the range. The range of a set of numbers is the difference between the smallest and the biggest numbers in the set. Step2: Find the intervals. The intervals separate the scale into equal parts. Divide the range by the interval or the number of groups you want to create. Step 3: Draw the frequency table using the selected scale and intervals. Learners who need support: Pair learners with competent peers and work through the concept development examples again, but change the numbers before doing the problem solving activities.

Introduction: Summarise data


We use the following as measures of central tendency:

The range is the difference between the biggest and the smallest number.
The mode is the value that appears the most. The median is the middle value. The mean is the total of the numbers divided by how many numbers there are. In this lesson we are going to revise these measures of central tendency and we are going to look at summarising data using measures of dispersion, like range and extremes.

Concept development
Revise with the learners the following concepts: mean, median, mode and range.
Measure Definition How to calculate Example Data set: 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 7, 8 Adding up the numbers gives: 2 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 8 = 32 There are seven values, so you divide the total by 7: 32 7 = 4.57... So the mean is 4.57 The numbers in order: 2 , 2 , 3 , (5) , 5 , 7 , 8 The middle value is marked in brackets, and it is 5. So the median is 5. The data values: 2,2,3,5,5,7,8 The values that appear most often are 2 and 5. They both appear more times than any of the other data values. So the modes are 2 and 5 The data values: 2,2,3,5,5,7,8 The lowest value is 2 and the highest value is 8. Subtracting the lowest from the highest gives: 8 - 2 = 6 So the range is 6.

Mean

To find the mean, you The mean is the total of need to add up all the the numbers divided by data, and then divide how many numbers this total by the number there are. of values in the data

To find the median, you need to put the values in order, then find the The median is the middle value. If there are Median middle value. two values in the middle, then you find the mean of these two values. The mode is the value which appears most The mode is the value often in the data. It is Mode that appears the most. possible to have more than one mode if there is more than one value which appears the most. To find the range, you first need to find the The range is the lowest and highest values difference between the in the data. The range is Range biggest and the smallest found by subtracting the number. lowest value from the highest value

We use a measure of central tendency to describe where the peak on a graph is located.

1. Ask learners to calculate the mean, mode, median and range for the following: a. (2,23,3,3,4) Answer: Range = 21 Mean = 7 Median = 3 Mode(s) = 3 b. (1,22,20,29,29,29,24) Answer: Range = 28 Mean = 22 Median = 24 Mode(s) = 29 c. (29,9,1,26,25) Answers: Range = 28 Mean = 18 Median = 25 Mode(s) = none

The mean average is not always a whole number. Remember to start by arranging the data from small to big. Note: if there is an even amount of numbers, the median will be the value that is halfway between the middle pair of numbers.

Ask learners what they understand under the term measure of dispersion. Once the learners have had some time to reflect on this term and develop a definition in their own words, provide them with the following: A measure of dispersion measures how spread out a set of data is. We use a measure of dispersion to describe how much spread there is in the distribution of data. When we look at a graph of a frequency table, we will notice a peak and a spread on either side of the peak. We use different measures of dispersion like: range, minimum values and maximum values, together with measures of central location to interpret the data series. 2. Ask learners to find the minimum value, maximum value and range of the following data: 29, 31, 24, 29, 30, 25 Answer: Start by arranging the 24, 25, 29, 29, 30, 31 data in sequence small large from small to large Identify the minimum and maximum values: Minimum = 24, maximum = 31 The range: Range = maximum minimum = 3124 = 7. Thus the range is 7.

Consolidation
We use a measure of central tendency to describe where the peak on a graph is located.
The range is the difference between the biggest and the smallest number. The mode is the value that appears the most. The median is the middle value. The mean is the total of the numbers divided by how many numbers there are. The measure of dispersion describes how much spread there is in the distribution of data. We use different measures of dispersion like range, minimum values and maximum values. Learners who need support: Pair learners with competent peers and work through the concept development examples again, but change the numbers before doing the class work activities. Make sure that they first arrange the data from small to big in their writing books. Learners who are more than competent: Provide peer support.

Introduction: Bar graphs


In Grade 7 we learnt that a bar graph is a visual display used to compare the amounts or frequency of occurrence of different characteristics of data. This type of display allows us to compare groups of data make generalisations about the data quickly. When reading a bar graph there are several things we must pay attention to: the graph title, two axes, including axes labels and scale, and the bars. Since bar graphs are used to graph frequencies or amounts of data in discrete groups, we will need to determine which axis is the grouped data axis, as well as what the specific groups are, and which is the frequency axis. The height of the bars are particularly important since they give us information about specific data. To draw a bar graph you have to start with your frequency table. From the frequency table, decide on the range and scale of the frequency data axis (vertical axis) and the grouped data axis (horizontal axis). Draw the vertical and horizontal axes and label them. Write the graph title at the top. Mark the data on the graph for each data group and draw the bar. Add the colour or shading of the bar to the legend (key). In this lesson we are going to draw bar graphs from raw data, then we are going to interpret the information and answer questions related to the bar graphs.

Concept development
Start by revising bar graphs. Refer to Grade 7 Term 4 Week 6 Day 3 for revision. Bar graphs are used to show data that is discrete. A bar graph allows us to compare data like amounts or frequency or categories. A bar graph also allows us to make generalisations about the data and to see differences in the data. In a bar graph we place the independent variable on the x-axis and the dependent variable on the y-axis. The independent variable is the category or subject we are collecting the data from r about. The dependent variable is the data we are collecting or what we are measuring. Remember: Discrete data is data that can only take certain values.

Ask learners to make a quality bar graph of the following data.

If you want to determine the sales for all car dealers, how will you go about that? j. How can you provide for any bias in your data? Bar graphs are used to compare categorical data using bars. For example amount of rainfall on different days in a week, the favourite colours of Grade 8 learners, the number of students enrolled in different grades in a school in a particular academic year, etc. A bar graph is a visual display used to compare the amounts or frequency of occurrence of different characteristics of data.

Introduction: Histograms
A histogram is a particular kind of bar graph that summarises data points falling in various ranges. The main difference between a normal bar graph and a histogram is that a bar graph shows you the frequency of each element in a set of data, while a histogram shows you the frequency of a range of data. In a histogram the bars must touch, because the data elements we are recording are numbers that are grouped, and form a continuous range from left to right.

Concept development
Revise the steps in the construction of a histogram. Constructing a histogram: Step 1 - Count the number of data points Step 2 - Summarise on a tally sheet Step 3 - Compute the range Step 4 - Determine the number of intervals Step 5 Compute the interval width Step 6 Determine the interval starting points Step 7 - Count the number of points in each interval Step 8 - Plot the data Step 9 - Add a title and legend Revise how to compute the interval width. Let us use the following example:
28 70 100 81 122 217 130 120 40 75 145 187 113 104 97 75 86 90 80 68 90 82 120 140 109 120 174 194 170

Smallest value = 28 Highest value = 217 Difference = highest value smallest value = 217 28 = 189

Ideally we do not want more than 10 class intervals

Now we decide that we want five class intervals. 189 Therefore: 5 =37,8 = 40 (round to the next 10)

161-165

151-155

Once we have determined the range and the class intervals, we must organise the data into a frequency table. Class interval Tally Frequency

40 - 79 80 - 119 120 - 159 160 - 199 200 - 239

Introduction: Histograms
Part of the power of histograms is that they allow us to analyse extremely large data sets by reducing them to a single graph that can show primary, secondary and tertiary peaks in data as well as give a visual representation of the statistical significance of those peaks.
Frequency 8 6 4 2 0 0-10 11-20 21-30 31-40 41-50 Frequency

This plot represents data with a well-defined peak that is close to the median and the mean. While there are "outliers," they are of relatively low frequency. Thus it can be said that deviations in this data group from the mean are of low frequency.

Concept development
Ask learners to find histograms with different shapes in a newspaper. Histograms can come in different shapes. The two most common shapes are the bell-shaped curve also known as the normal distribution and the skewed distribution. Asked learners if they can draw these two shapes and explain in words what they mean.

After giving them some time to make drawings and to explain, draw the following histograms on the board.
Histogram A
Normal distribution (bell-shaped) 6 4 2 0 8 6 4 2 0

Introduction: Pie charts


A pie chart is a circular chart in which the circle is divided into sectors. Each sector visually represents an item in a data set to match the amount of the item as a percentage or fraction of the total data set. Pie charts are useful to compare different parts of a whole amount. They are often used to present financial information, e.g. a company's expenditure can be shown to be the sum of its parts, including different expense categories such as salaries, borrowing interest, taxation and general running costs (i.e. rent, electricity, heating etc). It is simple to read a pie chart. Just look at the required sector representing an item (or category) and read off the value. A pie chart is used to compare the different parts that make up a whole amount.

Concept development
Revise the pie chart and how to draw a pie chart with the learners. Steps: 1. Convert all of your data points to percentages of the whole data set. 2. Convert the percentages into angles. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, multiply this by the percentages to get the angle for each section of the pie. 3. Draw a circle on a blank sheet of paper, using the compass. While a compass is not necessary, using one will make the chart much neater and clearer by ensuring the circle is even. 4. Draw a horizontal line, or radius, from the centre to the right edge of the circle, using the ruler or straight edge. This will be the first baseline. 5. Measure the largest angle in the data with the protractor, starting at the baseline, and mark it on the edge of the circle. Use the ruler to draw another radius to that point. 6. Use this new radius as a baseline for your next largest angle and continue this process until you get to the last data point. You will only need to measure the last angle to verify its value since both lines will already be drawn. 7. Label and shade the sections of the pie chart to highlight whatever data is important for your use.
Make sure it adds up to 100%

Consolidation
A pie chart is a circular chart in which the circle is divided into sectors. Each sector visually represents an item in a data set to match the amount of the item as a percentage or fraction of the total data set.
A pie chart is actually a very clever visual design that conveys one fact above all others with a minimum of visual cues. The circle (the "pie") represents some kind of whole, which is made up of the slices. Add up all the slices and you get the complete pie. Enlarge one part, and other parts will need to shrink. What this means is that the pie chart first and foremost represents the size relationship between the parts and the entire thing. If a company has five divisions, and the pie chart shows profits per division, the sum of all the slices/divisions is the total profit of the company.

If the parts do not sum up to a meaningful whole, they cannot be represented in a pie chart. It makes no sense to show five different occupations in a pie chart, because there are obviously many missing. The total of such a subsample is not meaningful, and neither is the comparison of each individual value to the artificial whole.

Introduction: Select the right graph


Using graphs to represent data makes it easier for the researcher to interpret and understand the data. There are many different types of graphs, each with its own unique advantages. It is important to select the most appropriate graph for your data set.

Concept development
Ask learners to make a list of all the types of graphs they know. Now ask them to list all the advantages and disadvantages that they can associate with the different types of graphs. Once students have had some time to reflect on the different types of graphs and developed a list of advantages and disadvantages, provide them with the following:
Type of Graph Bar graph and double bar graph Description A bar graph displays discrete data in separate columns. A double bar graph can be used to compare two data sets. Shows discrete or continuous variable data in a similar way to column graphs, but without the gap between the columns. Advantages Visually strong Can easily compare two or three data sets Visually strong Can compare to normal curve Usually vertical axis is a frequency count of items falling into each category Can compare multiple continuous data sets easily Interim data can be inferred from graph line Visually appealing Shows percentage of total for each category Disadvantages Graph categories can be reordered to emphasise certain effects Use only with discrete data Cannot read exact values because data is grouped into categories More difficult to compare two data sets Use only with continuous data Use only with continuous data

Histogram

Line graph

Pie chart

A line graph plots continuous data as points and then joins them with a line. Multiple data sets can be graphed together, but a key must be used A pie chart displays data as a percentage of the whole. Each pie section should have a label and percentage. A total data number should be included

No exact numerical data Hard to compare two data sets "Other" category can be a problem Total unknown unless specified Best for three to seven categories Use only with discrete data

Homework: See problem solving.

Learners do the following in their writing books.


Choose which of the following graphs will you use to best represent your data in the following research projects. A. Bar graph B. Histogram C. Pie chart a. The body masses of 500 male learners. (Histogram) b. The number of Biology undergraduates belonging to the different University Colleges. (Pie chart) c. The proportion of seedlings in a forest destroyed by fungus, herbivores, pathogens, trampling or wilting. (Pie chart) d. The number of first class degrees in biology for each year between 1980 and 1990. (Bar graph) e. The average number of eggs laid by five varieties of chickens. (Pie chart) f. The number of learners who passed matric with and without mathematics and science. (Pie chart)
Remember the answer is in brackets.

g. The size of farms found in the Karoo. (Histogram)


h. The frequency of students belonging to Anglican, Catholic, Jewish, Islamic, Hindi and Buddhist faiths. (Bar graph)

Consolidation
A graph can be a useful tool in the evaluation of data. The most commonly used graphs are pie charts, line graphs, histograms and bar graphs. The questions you have about a set of data determine which type of graph to use. Generally, the advantages of each type of graph are as follows: Line graphs are useful for understanding general trends in data and for estimating data between or outside the data points given. Bar graphs work well with data in categories. They are also helpful in understanding trends in data. Pie charts are useful for data that represents parts of a total or whole. A histogram is useful to understand the spread of data.

Problem solving
The following table shows the number of glasses of water you drink during the week. Day Glasses of water Monday 6 Tuesday 7 Wednesday 9 Thursday 8 Friday 10 Saturday 12 Sunday 5

a. What kind of graph would not be helpful in spotting general trends? b. If you had forgotten to write down how many glasses of water you drank on Thursday, what kind of graph would best help you guess? c. What kind of graph would be most helpful for quickly determining whether your water intake was the same for two or more days?

Introduction: Report data


Remember we started to collect data to solve a specific problem. We compiled a questionnaire to collect the data, then we organised and summarised the data using tallies and tables. With the tables we could calculate the mean and median, and establish the mode. We could also determine the range of the data. In this format it was still difficult for us to understand the data. We then used different types of graphs to represent our data. This helped us to interpret and analyse our data. The final and most important step in this process is to write a report on our research. During this step we can change our data into information. We can draw conclusions and make predictions. In this lesson we are going to look at: The basic outline of a report Drawing conclusions about the data Making predictions based on the data

Identifying sources of error and bias in the data


Choosing appropriate summary statistics for the data (mean, median, mode, range)

Concept development
Ask learners what they think should be included in the report.
Make a list of their suggestions on the board and arrange it to form a content page. Here is a suggested outline: 1. Aim This is the general aim of the project.
Remember: for the conclusions to make sense to the reader, he/she must understand the aim of the research. Therefore always start the report with the aim of the research.

2. Hypothesis A specific statement or prediction that you can show to be true or false. 3. Plan What data do you need? Who will you get it from? How will you collect it? How will you record it? How will you make sure the data is reliable? Why? Give reasons for the choices you made.

4. Analysis This is where you do the calculations and draw charts. Compare groups with the mean and median. The range is a measure of how spread out the group is. Graphs are good for representing data visually.

Do you still remember the different terms and how to calculate them?

5. Conclusions Do your results agree with the hypothesis? How confident are you? What went wrong? How did you deal with it? What would you do differently if you did the research again?

6. Appendices It is good practice to include a copy of the questionnaire. The appendices may also include tables related to sample selection, instructions to interviewers, and so on.
7. References If you used any secondary data or research you must acknowledge your sources here. I love sport Homework: See problem solving.

Introduction: Data handling cycle: Assessment 4.4: Part 1


Data handling is a process of collecting, organising, representing, analysing and interpreting data. The visual representation of data is of major importance.

In the next two lessons we are going to revise the process by doing a practical research project.

Concept development
Write the following questions on the board. Boys in grade 8 are taller than girls in the same grade? Is there any link between a persons height and their hand span? Divide the class in groups (research teams). Each team must prepare a plan on how they will go about answering the above question. They must start with the aim of their research and hypothesis. Questions that might help them to plan: What data do you need? Who will you get it from? How will you collect it? How will you record it? How will you make sure the data is reliable? Why? Give reasons for the choices you made.

Each group gets an opportunity to present their aim, hypothesis and plan to the rest of the class.
Once all the research teams have presented their plans, they get the opportunity to change their plans based on what they heard from the other teams. Their plans are submitted and then they can start collecting and recording their data. Learners who need support: Make sure the groups are mixed. Learners who are more than competent: Peer support.
