ResourceMAP - Data Analysis: Numeric Data - Student Edition

Author: Gary Froelich


ResourceMAP modules are relatively short and designed for flexible implementation; that is, they can be used in regular classes as well as in special test-preparation settings. Each module contains a set of contextual problems in several formats: multi-part open response, short response, and multiple-choice. Accompanying the problem set are tip sheets that serve several purposes including lists of formulas, calculator instruction, and brief reviews of the module's underlying mathematics. Also provided are teacher notes (the module purpose, the mathematical focus, and implementation commentary), answers to all problems, and (in a few cases) handout masters.

Data Analysis: Numeric Data

Every time you open a newspaper, you will find statistics. Data are collected on nearly everything imaginable: sports events, temperatures, salaries, hours spent studying, life spans of various animals. However, in order to make sense of numeric data, the numbers need to be organized and summarized before they can be interpreted.
