Unit Summary
This unit supports pupils to be able to demonstrate an understanding of how both qualitative and quantitative data are collected, presented and analysed to include tables and graphs.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to describe how data is collected and use various methods to present and plot data.
Key Notes
- Bar charts are plotted by labelling the vertical and the horizontal axis.
- Bar charts are drawn with equal width and start from zero on the vertical axis.
- Line graphs are drawn by plotting points and connecting them with a line.
- Data can be collected with numbers; quantative and with descriptions; qualitative.
Vocabulary To Learn
- quantitative data: a measurement which can be quantified as a number.; there is no expressed opinion; it is a fact
- qualitative data: more of a subjective than an objective appraisal; involves opinions relating to the quality of performance rather than the quantity
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Graphs in exam questions will have the x and y axes labelled.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Bar charts are plotted by labelling the vertical and the horizontal axis. Bar charts are drawn with equal width and start from zero on the vertical axis.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'quantitative data'
a measurement which can be quantified as a number.; there is no expressed opinion; it is a fact.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Graphs in exam questions will have the x and y axes labelled. Correction: One of the skills assessed in GCSE PE exam questions is to label the x and y axes, as well as plot data and present as the method requested by the question.
