1. Understanding Data

  • Types of data: Categorical vs. Numerical
  • Population vs. Sample
  • What is a population?
  • Why do we take a sample?
  • How does sample size affect results?
  • Bias in data collection (How to ensure fair representation)

2. Data Representation

  • Frequency tables and Tally marks
  • Bar graphs and pictographs
  • Pie charts (percentages in data)
  • Line graphs (showing trends over time)
  • Histograms (introduction)

3. Measures of Central Tendency

  • Mean, Median, Mode (with real-life applications)
  • Comparing different measures and when to use them

4. Interpreting Data and Making Conclusions

  • Identifying trends and patterns
  • Drawing conclusions from graphs and tables
  • Understanding misleading data (how statistics can be misused)
