DATA HANDLING
Write down some examples of DATA.

__________________________________ ________________________________
Do you know what DATA is?
Yes I do.
Data is any INFORMATION that can be counted or measured. This means that we collect the information, analyse it (we study it) and then we represent it in some way.
PAGE 3
Before we get started we need to first ask ourselves some QUESTIONS.
What data do I want to collect?
Why do I want to collect this data?
How am I going to collect this data?
What am I going to do with the data once I have it?
How can I sort out all the data?
What does it mean to me once it is all sorted out?
PAGE 4
STEP 1: THE QUESTION
In data handling we do a survey. This is where you make an
assumption (a guess) and try and find out whether or not your
assumption is true. We do this by counting data, measuring
data, observing data or designing a questionnaire.
STEP 2: CHOOSING A SAMPLE
The second step is to decide who or what is going to be
included in the survey. In other words, from WHERE or WHO
are we going to collect the information. The source of your
information is called the SAMPLE.
Can you list some examples?

An example:
Let’s say I want to find out about how the learners in my school get to school.
Which of the following questions do you think is best for finding this out?
- Do you walk to school?
- Do you go to school by bus or car?
- How do you get to school most days?
Discuss which one question is the best for finding the information you need.
_____________________________________________________________
You need to choose your sample so that it is a small group that is similar to
the whole population. Then the results will give a fair and full picture of how
all the learners in your school get to school.
You would not only ask your question to the girls in the school because
maybe more girls get lifts to school than boys. Then you would not get the
right picture and we say your sample is biased.
Discuss which of the following samples would give the best picture of how all
the learners in the school travel to school:
- All the boys in Grade 8
- All the learners in Grade 7
- All the girls who play netball
- Five learners from each class
There are too many learners in a
school to ask them how they all
get to school. Instead we will only
ask some of them. We call this
taking a sample.
A sample is a part of a
population you want to
investigate

STEP 3: COLLECTING AND ORGANIZING DATA
The third step is collecting data by measurement or keeping a tally.

STEP 4: ORGANIZING DATA
There are two methods of organizing data:
The TALLY TABLE and the STEM AND LEAF DIAGRAM

Above is a tally table representing the sport each learner in a class
participates in during the winter season.
A tally table has three columns:
- 1st Column: The data/information you are investigating
- 2nd Column: The tally of the number for each group
- 3rd Column: The frequency (the total for each tally)
PAGE 8
Questions relating to the TALLY TABLE
1. Which sport is the most popular?
2. How many of the learners play rugby?
3. How many girls in the class play netball?
4. What fraction of the class plays no sport?
5. What percentage of the class plays hockey?
6. Comment on the popularity of soccer.
7. Why do two learners play no sport?

PAGE 14
Activity 4
A group of 15 learners wrote a test. Here are their marks out of 100:
73 64 52 46 51 36 74 69 80 65 72 81 94 55 80
4.1 What is the highest mark?

4.3 How many marks are between 60% and 70%?
4.4 Rewrite the marks in order from lowest to highest.
4.5 Is it easier to answer question 1 to 3 now?
4.6 Think of one more question about the data.
Write it down and ask another learner to answer it.
PAGE 15
STEM AND LEAF DIAGRAM
Suppose we are investigating the assumption that most of the learners in my
class are taller than 155 cm. The learners’ heights are listed below:
141 153 158 142 147 170 162 145 159 158 144 164 167 171
141 146 156 150 160 151 153 169 161 148 146 153 139 160
155 145
The first TWO digits of each number form the stem.
The LAST digit (the UNIT digit) is called the leaf.

from smallest to
biggest underneath
each other
STEP 2:
Write down the leaf
next to the correct
stem.
STEP 3:
Arrange the leaves in
order from smallest to

STEP 5: REPRESENTING DATA
Tables were used to present data but data can also be
represented in graphs.
PAGE 22
BAR GRAPHS AND DOUBLE BAR GRAPHS
A bar graph has a set of individual bars, each of which represent a number of
things. The bars do not touch each other. An important advantage of a bar
graph is that you can compare the heights of the bars to interpret data. A
double bar graph can be used to compare two sets of data in the same
graph.

TYPES OF TRANSPORT TO SCHOOL
I asked each
person in my class
how he or she gets
to school.
Here are the numbers
of learners who said
“yes” to each form of
transport.
The scale on the
vertical axis shows the
number of people.
The horizontal axis
shows the type of
transport used.

JOSEPH'S TEMPERATURE READINGS
LINE AND BROKEN-LINE GRAPHS
Line graphs and broken-line graphs are used to illustrate what happens to
data as time changes. The readings are taken at regular intervals. The time
intervals (DEPENDENT Variables) are shown on the horizontal axis and the
data values (INDEPENDENT Variables) on the vertical axis.
When Joseph was in hospital a nurse took his temperature every four
hours for two days. When he was feeling better he drew a broken-line
graph of the results.
PAGE 33
Questions
1. What was his temperature at 2 pm on Friday?
2. When was his temperature the highest?
3. When was his temperature 39°C?
4. Describe the general trend in Joseph’s temperature over those two
days.
5. Can you use the graph to find out what Joseph’s temperature was at
04:00 pm on Friday afternoon? Give a reason for your answer.
6. Why does the scale on the vertical axis not start at 0°C?

PIE CHARTS
Pie charts are circles divided up to show the various parts into which the
whole is divided.
A class of 48 learners was asked to indicate their favourite pet. Their
preferences are shown in the table.
DOG CAT MOUSE GOLDFISH
16 18 6 8
To convert the data to a pie chart, we need to express each figure as a part
of a complete circle/whole. A complete circle is equal to __________, so
each animal will take up a part of the full circle.
Complete these calculations to work out each animal’s share of the pie chart.
(Remember, the total, represented by the whole circle, is 48.)

Write Dog, Cat, Mouse or Goldfish in the corresponding sector of the circle

THE MEAN
Example:
Ten friends in Grade 7 compared their masses in kilograms.
Their masses were: 47; 63; 77; 82; 51; 38; 59; 66; 47; 54
In everyday language
when we talk about
“the average” what we
normally refer to is the
mean.
If I want to find my mean test
mark and I have three marks:
7; 8 and 9, then I add these
together and divide by 3.
The answer is 8, and this is
the mean.
PAGE 43
THE MEDIAN
Example:
Find the median of the following masses:
47; 63; 77; 82; 51; 38; 59; 66; 47; 54
In order from smallest to largest:
38; 47; 47; 51; 54; 59; 63; 66; 77; 82
The median is the
middle number when
the numbers are
arranged in order from
smallest to largest.
But when we have an
even number of figures
there is no middle
figure. So then we take
the mean of the two
middle figures.
PAGE 44
THE MODE
Example:
Find the mode of the following masses:
47; 63; 77; 82; 51; 38; 59; 66; 47; 54
Mode = 47 kg
THE RANGE
Example:
What is the range of the following temperatures (all in °C)
47; 63; 77; 82; 51; 38; 59; 66; 47; 54
Range = 82 – 38
= 44° C
The mode is the
number that occurs
most often.
Finding the mode is
easy. Just see which
number is repeated
the most.
The range is
not a kind of
average.
The range is the size between
the biggest number and the
smallest number.
Range = Highest number -
Lowest number

SCALE AND BIAS IN GRAPHS
A magazine increased its sales during the first five months of a year.
Study the following two graphs carefully.
Graph 1 Graph 2
The scale is the numbering
on the side of the graph.
The scale can make the
changes on the graph seem
big or small.
The person who draws a
graph can change the scale
to show different pictures
of the data.

Questions
1. What is the difference between the scales of the 2 graphs?
2. Which graph gives a more accurate picture of the sales increase? Why?
3. What does the other graph make you think happened to the number of
magazines that were sold? How does it do this?
4. Which graph indicates that the magazine sales had improved by a bigger
amount?
5. Which graph do you think the publishers of the magazine would want to
publish?
6. Why do you think they would want to show this graph instead of the other
one?
