These are the statements describing what students need to learn:
- interpret diagrams for single-variable data, including understanding that area in a histogram represents frequency. Students should be familiar with histograms, frequency polygons, box and whisker plots (including outliers) and cumulative frequency diagrams
- interpret scatter diagrams and regression lines for bivariate data, including recognition of scatter diagrams which include distinct sections of the population (calculations involving regression lines are excluded). Understand informal interpretation of correlation. Understand that correlation does not imply causation
- interpret measures of central tendency and variation, extending to standard deviation. Be able to calculate standard deviation, including from summary statistics
- recognise and interpret possible outliers in data sets and statistical diagrams. Select or critique data presentation techniques in the context of a statistical problem. Be able to clean data, including dealing with missing data, errors and outliers
