Unit 5 Statistics –Revised (20-25%) Outcomes SCO: By the end of Mathematics 2204-05, students will be expected to F10 interpret and apply histograms Elaboration – Instructional Strategies/Suggestions F10 Students in this course should begin their study of statistics by reviewing ways of organizing and describing data. They should construct histograms (both with and without technology) and frequency polygons. When raw data is presented, students should be able to calculate the mean and median of the data. When a histogram is presented without the raw data, it is often not possible to calculate the mean and median precisely. When this occurs, students estimate the mean and the median of the data based on the histogram. Students should use frequency polygons to help them focus on the shape and spread (or dispersion) of the histogram. They also measure and interpret spread using standard deviation. In addition it will be necessary to determine whether or not data appears to be normally distributed based on a histogram and frequency polygon of the data. Students will also examine various graphs and situations to describe the information presented. For example, they might determine the percentage of data that lies above or below a certain value. Worthwhile Tasks for Instruction and/or Assessment F10 Activity F10.1 The Canadian Kennel Association did a study of litter size amongst certain breeds of dogs. Below are the results of the litter sizes last year of one particular breed, in one particular province: 3 6 5 6 5 5 7 5 7 6 6 6 4 6 5 6 4 3 5 6 8 3 6 9 2 5 7 9 4 5 8 2 5 7 6 6 7 7 8 4 5 6 5 9 10 3 4 5 11 2 7 9 5 3 7 6 7 4 5 8 9 3 6 5 7 5 6 4 8 7 3 9 10 4 5 12 5 8 9 5 6 8 a) Determine the mean and the median of the set of data. b) Construct a histogram with bin-width 1 and a frequency polygon for
