• 08 Line Graphs (9 slides): Explains how to plot / draw, read off and interpret simple line graphs.

• 09 Stepped Tables and Two-way Tables (18 slides): Explains how to use stepped tables and how to complete, read and interpret two-way tables.

• 10 Pie Charts (18 slides): Explains how to draw and interpret pie charts.

• 11 Scatter Diagrams (40 slides): Explains how to plot a scatter diagram, explains correlation – types and strength, how to draw and use lines of best fit, and how to find and interpret the equation of the linear regression line.

• 12 Stem and Leaf Diagrams (17 slides): Explains how to produce stem and leaf diagrams, including back-to-back stem and leaf diagrams.

• 13 Histograms (14 slides): Explains how to produce and interpret histograms.

• 14 Misleading Graphs and other Data Representations (19 slides): Explains how diagrams, charts and graphs might be misleading.

Note:

• Work on frequency tables, cumulative frequency tables and graphs, box (and whisker) plots and time series is included in APT’s set of PowerPoints on ‘Analysing Data’.

• Work on conversion graphs and distance-time graphs is included in APT’s set of PowerPoints on ‘Graphs’.

• There are also additional PowerPoints available that cover the additional GCSE Statistics parts of this module of statistical work – covering sampling in more depth, comparative pie charts, population pyramids and choropleths.
