Data & Chance
Explore how to ask smart questions, collect and interpret data, and understand the role of chance in everyday events. In this topic, you’ll run investigations, analyse data, and use probability to make sense of uncertain outcomes.
Concepts
This topic builds your skills in posing investigative questions, gathering and interpreting data, and exploring chance through probability experiments. You’ll learn how to think critically about data, evaluate claims, and connect findings to real-world questions.
Investigative Questions
Pose and refine statistical or probability questions to explore the world around you.
Planning & Data Collection
Plan and carry out data collection, considering variables, methods, and ethics.
Data Visualisation & Interpretation
Use bar graphs, dot plots, and tables to show and interpret data.
Probability Experiments
Run simple chance experiments and explore patterns in outcomes.
Theoretical vs Experimental
Compare observed results with what you expected, and explore why they might differ.
Evaluating Claims
Decide whether a statistical or probability-based claim is reasonable.
