ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 |
Data collection sheets are designed and used to collect data. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5 |
Questionnaires with yes/no type responses are designed and used to collect data. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 6 |
Questionnaires with a variety of possible responses (quantitative and qualitative) are designed and used to collect data. |
SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2 |
Summarise data into tables and summary statistics. |
OUTCOME RANGE |
Tally tables; frequency tables; two-way tables; stem-and-leaf diagrams; mode (most frequently occurring score); median (middle number or number between two middle numbers of a data set arranged in size order); mean (sum of all the scores divided by number of scores); range (difference between largest and smallest scores). |
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 |
Data is organised and recorded in tally tables. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 |
Data is organised and recorded in frequency tables. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 |
Data is organised and recorded in two-way tables. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 |
Data is organised and recorded in stem-and-leaf diagrams. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5 |
The mode is used as a measure of central tendency to summarise ungrouped data. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 6 |
The median is used as a measure of central tendency to summarise ungrouped data. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 7 |
The mean is used as a measure of central tendency to summarise ungrouped data. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 8 |
The range is used as a measure of dispersion (spread) to summarise ungrouped data. |
SPECIFIC OUTCOME 3 |
Display data in diagrams. |
OUTCOME RANGE |
Bar diagrams with appropriate scales; double bar diagrams with appropriate scales and keys; pie diagrams in terms of proper fractions of circles. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 |
Data is displayed manually and electronically in bar diagrams with appropriate scales. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 |
Data is displayed manually and electronically in double bar diagrams with appropriate scales and keys. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 |
Data is displayed manually and electronically in pie diagrams in terms of proper fractions of the circle. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 |
Data is displayed manually and electronically in broken line diagrams with appropriate scales. |
SPECIFIC OUTCOME 4 |
Critically analyse data in tables and diagrams in order to draw conclusions and make predictions. |
OUTCOME RANGE |
Tally tables; frequency tables; two-way tables; stem-and-leaf diagrams; bar diagrams; double bar diagrams; pie diagrams; broken line-diagrams. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 |
Data in tally tables, frequency tables, two-way tables and stem-and-leaf diagrams is critically read and interpreted to draw conclusions and make predictions. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 |
Data in bar diagrams, double bar diagrams, pie diagrams and broken line-diagrams (own and in the media) is critically read and interpreted to draw conclusions and make predictions. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 |
The most suitable measure of central tendency is chosen appropriately. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 |
The misuse of scales in diagrams as a source of error and bias is understood and explained with examples. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5 |
The role of context (e.g. rural or urban, national or provincial), categories within the data (e.g. age, gender, and race) and other human rights and inclusivity issues is explained with examples. |
SPECIFIC OUTCOME 5 |
Interpret and determine chance variation. |
OUTCOME RANGE |
Words of chance; possible and actual outcomes of an experiment; relative frequency of an outcome. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 |
The likelihood of events occurring in daily life based on observations are compared, classified, ordered, predicted and placed on a scale from 'impossible' to 'certain'. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 |
The possible outcomes of simple experiments (of which the possible outcomes are equally likely) are listed. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 |
Simple experiments are performed and the frequencies of the actual outcomes are counted. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 |
The frequencies of the actual outcomes are used to calculate the relative frequency of an actual outcome (the number of times the outcome happens divided by the number of trials in the experiment). |

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD: |
This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here. |
