SecondaryYear 7MathematicsStatisticsEnvironmentalEnergySustainabilityEconomicIndustry, Innovation and InfrastructureJob Ready

Lesson Summary

Students will analyse numerical data relating to the energy capacity of renewable energy projects in Australia and Queensland by calculating summary statistics such as the mean, median and mode, as well as creating graphical representations. Students will investigate the feasibility of Australian renewable energy targets by making and justifying decisions about which measures of central tendency provide useful insights into the nature of the distribution of data.

Learning intentions

Students will:

evaluate numerical data sets through an investigation of renewable energy projects.

Success criteria

Students can:

calculate the mean, median, mode and range for numerical data
evaluate the influence of outliers on measures of centre
make conclusions using statistical values in a real-world context.
