What is Statistics?

Statistics is the science that deals with collecting, analyzing, interpreting, presenting, and organizing data.

2

Types of Statistics

There are two main types: Descriptive statistics and Inferential statistics.

3

Descriptive Statistics

Descriptive statistics summarize data using measures such as mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation.

4

Inferential Statistics

Inferential statistics draw conclusions that extend beyond the data, using sample data to make inferences about a population.

5

Activity: "Fact or Fiction?" "statistics" (some true, some made up):

"85% of people use their phone within 15 minutes of waking up"

"100% of lottery winners regret their win within 5 years"

"7 out of 10 dentists recommend this toothpaste"

"The average person spends 6 months of their life waiting for red lights"

"90% of statistics are made up on the spot" (ironic!)

6

Questions

"What makes a statistic believable or suspicious?"

"What questions should we ask about statistics?"

7

Vocabulary

 sample size, percentage, average/mean, median, trend, bias, margin of error

8

Pair Work Analysis (10 mins):

QR


  • In pairs, answer questions about each text:
  • What is the main claim?
  • What is the sample size?
  • Is this statistic reliable? Why/why not?
  • What additional information would you like to know?

Class Discussion (5 mins):

  • Each pair shares findings about one text
  • Discuss: Which statistic is most/least reliable?


9

Activity: "Spot the Tricks" common ways statistics can mislead:


  • Trick 1: Small Sample Size"3 out of 4 people prefer our product!" (But they only asked 4 people)
  • Trick 2: Manipulated GraphsY-axis doesn't start at zero, making small differences look huge
  • Trick 3: Cherry-Picking DataOnly showing the time period that supports your claim
  • Trick 4: Vague Language"Studies show..." (Which studies? Who conducted them?)
  • "Up to 90%..." (Could be 1%, could be 90%)
  • Trick 5: Confusing Correlation with Causation"Ice cream sales and drowning deaths both increase in summer, therefore ice cream causes drowning!" (No - hot weather causes both)
