Question 1
Name two situations that could require data to be displayed. Choose the most appropriate data display format for each and explain the reasoning for your choice.Question 2
Provide two examples of questions that would help guide class discussions about data interpretation. Explain how each question could help develop students' ability to analyze data.Answer 1
The teacher would like to display how many students received A's on the last test, B's, etc. A histogram would be appropriate because each individual score is not needed to meet her needs, simply intervals.Answer 2
Where is the data clustered? Students are frequently not good at analyzing the data to draw conclusion about the population. By drawing their attention to a value that shows up a lot, perhaps this could help them to make a conjecture about the population.
