Eco 372 Week 4 Assignment

Statistics is the second last strand of the Australian curriculum. It is paired with probability because of “the development that progressively links the two strands” (Australian Curriculum, 2016, para 5). In this area of mathematics I discovered the steps of statistical literacy skills (ABS, 2013, para 1). To confidently identify the statistical skills, I had to understand each step before moving onto the next. The steps were; ability to understand statistical concepts; ability to analyse, interpret and evaluate statistical information and finally, communicate statistical information and understandings. These new findings are explained in my WIKA (appendix k) for topic three. It explains how to correctly store the statistical data in the classroom such as using various graphs which relates to the situation.
I get really nervous when I have to explain statistics and implement the data that I have collected. In fact, for my TTP (appendix L) for topic three, I was very hesitant to complete my work. I collected all the data that was needed for the question such as the amount of cat food being sold, the amount of cats that were in Australia and so forth, however, I did not know how my peers on the DB were going to perceive my answer and what point that was going to come across from my answer. The part that made me so nervous was choosing which graph would be appropriate for the data that I collected.
My strengths in statistics was collecting the data. I enjoyed researching various area for instance cats for the TTP. I liked going from one site to another site to get detailed information, that I would not know before. My weaknesses in statistics was choosing a storage for the collection of data. I did not know which graphs would be appropriate for the appointed
