When data is displayed in an organized way, it helps us to
better understand what we are studying
Ie: Organized data from a BC Lions football game
We can see a lot more information than just who won

By organizing information into a table it can be easily read &
understood.
Looking at unorganized data can be
challenging
Ex: Marks obtained in a math test from 30 grade 10 students
8, 6, 9, 6, 8, 6, 8, 8, 9, 5, 7, 7, 9, 5, 6, 7, 5, 7, 8, 8, 4, 8, 5, 8, 4, 7,
8, 5, 5, and 7
If we present the data in a
frequency table, it
becomes easier to
understand and
analyze.

If the
range
in the data is too big, ie: scores from 20 to 100,
there would be too many
rows
.
In this case we group the data into a range of 10,
ie: scores (20 – 30, 31 – 40, 41 – 50, … )
Practice: Make a frequency table with the following data:

41-50

61-70

81-90

One very common type of graph is a
line
graph
Dependent variables like distance & cost are measured on the
y-axis
(dependent)
Controlled variable like time is on the
x-axis

What is the distance
travelled in the first 3hours?
How many hours during the
travel is the car at rest?
How much time did it take to
travel 60km?

:
Double Bar Graphs are used for comparing two sets of
data across different categories
Ie: Comparing the tests scores between two students

Ex: The following data indicate the age of the audience in a
workshop. Draw a stem-leaf plot for the data:
Take the tens digit
to form the stem
The “ONES” digit
is used to fill in the
plot
The smaller digit
on the left and the
bigger on the right
