Student objectives
- Decide whether a question needs data from a group of people or things to answer it.
- Tell the difference between questions with one fixed answer and questions that can have many different answers.
- Look for clues that a question expects variation, like asking about a population, a sample, or a range of results.
- Explain why a question is or is not statistical using simple reasoning.
Everyday practice
- Decide if a class poll like "How many siblings do you have?" will give different answers from different students.
- Figure out whether a question like "What time does school start?" needs a survey or just one fact.
- Tell if asking "How long does it take students to get to school?" will create a set of data with variation.
- Choose whether you need to measure lots of items or just one when asking "How heavy are backpacks in our class?".
