AS 91035 – Multivariate Statistics: World at a Glance Name: _______________________  x Must meet all criteria for achieved Achieved plus all merit criteria Merit Achieved Achievement Criteria Poses an appropriate comparison question Draws a graph that allows features of the data to be described in relation to the question Writes statements that describe comparative features of the distributions in context. (At least two) Answers the comparison question OR makes a correct comparison using an informal inference about the population Meets criteria for A poses an appropriate comparison question Draws graph(s) and gives summary statistics that allow features of the distributions to be described in relation to the question. This must include a box plot and one other graph that shows more distribution detail. Writes statements that describe comparative features of the sample distributions in context, linking evidence/observations to their contextual interpretation. (At least two) Makes a correct informal inference about the population from the sample data that shows an understanding of sampling variability or of the context M Answers the comparison question, with at least one statement of supporting evidence. Merit plus all excellence criteria Excellence poses an appropriate comparison question Draws graphs and gives summary statistics that allow features of the distributions to be described in relation to the question. (At least two different graphs.) Writes statements with evidence that describe key comparative features of the sample distributions in context. (at least three statements.) Makes a correct informal inference about the population from the sample data that shows an understanding of sampling variability and of the context Answers the comparison question with reference to the population and key supporting evidence summarised in context. (What the statistical basis for the claim is and the effect of sampling variability or does the claim make sense considering the actual situation is expected.) E
