1. Data a collection of facts, such as values or measurements

2. Vocabulary SURVEY sondaggio SAMPLEcampione CENSUS censimento BIAS pregiudizio, parzialità PATTERNmodello, schema SHAPEforma RANGEgamma, serie

3. Data QUANTITATIVE Can be collected using numbers QUALITATIVE about preferences Discrete data can only take certain values Continuous data can take any value Primary data You collect yourself Secondary data: Someone else has collected

4. You collect data by doing a Survey you collect data for every member of the group (the whole "population"). you collect data just for selected members of the group. A census is accurate, but hard to do. A sample is not as accurate, but may be good enough, and is a lot easier. SAMPLE CENSUS

6. Be careful! Don’t bias your survey. If you measure something several times and all values are close, they may all be wrong if there is a "Bias“ Bias is a systematic (built-in) error which makes all measurements wrong by a certain amount.

7. Here are five steps to a successful survey:  Step one: create the questions  Step two: ask the questions  Step three: display the data  Step four: analyse the data  Step five: present the results Analyse :study in detail

8. Step three: Display the data Show the pattern and shape of the data Give a clear understanding of the data more quickly Explain and analyse your results Display: organise the data collected into tables and graphs so that the patterns can be seen and analysed

9. HOW TO SHOW DATA  Bar Graph  Pie Chart  Pictograms  Histograms

10. Bar Charts A Bar Chart (also called Bar Graph) is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights. For a bar chart you need: An easy scale for the axes, which you should label on the axes A title describing why you have drawn the bar chart

12. Pie Chart A special chart that uses "pie slices" to show relative sizes of data. It is the best way to show fractions or percentages for a set of data

13. How to Make a Pie Chart Yourself First add up all your values to get a total Next, divide each value by the total Now you need to figure out how many degrees for each "pie slice" A Full Circle has 360 degrees, so we do this calculation: value/total x 360 (You can also multiply (value/total) by 100 to get a percent

14. Now you are ready to start drawing! Draw a circle. Then use your protractor to measure the degrees of each sector.

15. Why do you think it is called a pie chart?

16. Pictograms A Pictogram is a way of showing data using images or symbols. Each image stands for a certain number of things. You need: Simple symbols that are easy to draw A key showing what each symbol stands for A title describing why you have draw the pictograms

18. Histograms A Histogram is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights. It is similar to a Bar Chart, but a histogram groups numbers into ranges And you decide what ranges to use!

19. A histogram is different from a bar chart as the bars are joined toghether and have no gaps A histograms is used for continuous data and for grouped continuous data
