1. (7.11) Probability and statistics. The student understands that the way a set of data is displayed influences its interpretation. The student is expected to: (A) select and use an appropriate representation for presenting and displaying relationships among collected data, including line plot, line graph, bar graph, stem and leaf plot, circle graph, and Venn diagrams, and justify the selection and (B) make inferences and convincing arguments based on an analysis of given or collected data. Circle Graphs

2. 7.11A/7.11B INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITY #1 Data can be represented in a variety of ways, including tables, line graphs, bar graphs, and circle graphs. When data are organized and displayed in a graph or diagram, it is easier to see relationships between the pieces of data. The type of graph you use depends on the data you are representing and the relationships you want to analyze. A circle graph compares the numbers in a set of data by showing the relative sizes of the parts that make up a whole. The circle represents the whole, which is made up of all the data elements. Each section of the circle represents part of the whole.

3. 7.11A/7.11B INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITY #1 If you draw radii out from the center of a circle, you are forming central angles in that circle. The central angles of a circle total 360˚. The fractional part of the circle contained in each sector of a circle graph is related to the fractional part of the 360˚ total of the central angles. 360° = 1 = 1.0 = 100% 45 ° = = 0.125 = 12.5% 1818 90 ° = = 0.25 = 25% 1414 180° = = 0.5 = 50% 1414

4. 7.11A/7.11B INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITY #2 Sometimes conclusions need to be drawn or convincing arguments need to be made about data. To do this, careful review of the data and finding evidence that supports conclusions or arguments is required. Here are some guidelines to follow to ensure that the conclusions drawn from graphs and data are valid: Be certain that any pattern found in the data is truly reflected by the data. Compare information presented in a table or graph accurately. Make sure the units used in a table or graph are consistent with the conclusions drawn. Be logical. Do not draw conclusions beyond those represented by the data.

7. The following graphs represent the seventh grade votes for class president. Odell M. 10% Cody T. 40% Barry S. 20% Richard B 30% Odell M. 30% Cody T. 45% Barry S. 5% Richard B 20% Richard B. received half of the votes from the girls and boys. This is an incorrect conclusion supported by the fact that Richard B. only received ____ percent of the votes from the boys, which is not half of the boys’ votes, and he received ____ percent of the votes from the girls, which is not half of the girls’ votes. Boys’ VotesGirls’ Votes 40 45
