“Statistical investigation is part of information gathering and
learning process with is undertaken to seek meaning from and to
learn more about observed phenomena as well as to inform
decisions and actions. The ultimate goal of statistical
investigation is to learn more about a real world situation and to
expand the body of contextual knowledge”

What did you look
for when catching a
glimpse of the plot?

Are your plots similar
to your neighbours?

What is important to
emphasise with your
students?
D ESCRIBING SHAPE

Choose one plot and with your neighbour
discuss how your Year 10 students would
describe the shape

O stands for Obvious observations:

S is for Specific:


Under each obvious observation, explain what you mean
so that another person would get it.
E is for Evidence:


Write down one thing you notice, then leave a gap, and
write down something else you notice. Try to get 3
obvious things.
Support each observation with numbers or calculations.
M is for Meaning:

So what? Write down what each of your points tells you
about the original problem/situation. What else could
we find out?

Which situation would we trust to make
statements about what is happening back in the
two populations?

The heights or the travel time?
What are the key features of the two situations?

Heights


Large amount of overlap

Little or no overlap

Medians within the overlap

At least one median is outside
the overlap
Due to sampling variability
another sample could easily give
a different picture


Travel time

Don’t know which box is to
the right back in the
populations
Therefore we don’t know who is
taller
Even with sampling variability we
expect another sample to give a
similar picture


Expect that the bus box is to the
right back in the population
Therefore we are pretty sure that
bus travel time takes longer
