Unit 5
Methods of Collecting Data Vocabulary 8d¢i
Survey: a method of collecting information by asking questions
+ Questionnaire: a set of written questions with a chaice of answers
* Interview: a conversation in which one person (the interviewer)
asks another (the interviewee) questions
Experiment: a repeatable process, such as rolling a dice
Observation: Primary data collected by recording things that are seen
Examples: How would you collect the data to answer these questions?
a) What is the favorite food and drink of the students in your class?
b) How many cars pass your school in one hour?
c) How many times will a dice show a 6 when it is rolled 100 times?
KPer irre
Population/Sample
P@pUISHON: The total set of people, things or events being investigated
‘Sample; A selection from a large population, when a population is large
the sample consist of L0%
Example: There are 452 people living in a town. Emily wants to
know the ages of the people living in the town. She decides to ask
a sample of the population. How many people should there be in
her sample? _

Degree of Accuracy
‘Degree of accuracy: level of accuracy in any rounding
Example: If you are recording the height of the students in your
class would you measure it is centimeters or meters?
CW Page 63 # 1-3
8de2 know the difference between discrete and continues data
Data that can only have exact ‘Any data that ean take any value ina range. All
values. Usually whole numbers data that is measured is continuous data. If
‘but can include fractions. Vs you round the measurement to the nearest
whole number, the data is still continues.
Examples: Examples:
Number of goals scores eights of Trees
Number of people at the game Masses of babiesPractice: fe

Frequency Tablesa table that lists the number of times a specific value or item
occurs ina set of data

Two-Way Table
‘Two-Way table:a table displaying data, with rows and columns usually showing
different variables
Presentit ina way that makes it easy ta read the information

the range, mean, median, and mode and for grouped data, the modal class
Statistics: study and use of data; values calculated froma set of data
* Average: a representative value includes mean, median, and mode
+ Range: the difference between the largest and smallest number in aset,
describes how spread the data is (itis not an average)

*To calculate the statistics of feces: data we use average and range
