Outcomes

7.D1.1

Explain why percentages are used to represent the distribution of a variable for a population or sample in large sets of data, and provide examples.

7.D1.3

Select from among a variety of graphs, including circle graphs, the type of graph best suited to represent various sets of data; display the data in the graphs with proper sources, titles, and labels, and appropriate scales; and justify their choice of graphs.

7.D1.6

Analyse different sets of data presented in various ways, including in circle graphs and in misleading graphs, by asking and answering questions about the data, challenging preconceived notions, and drawing conclusions, then make convincing arguments and informed decisions.
