| (a) |
Provide examples of data relevant to self, family, or community and categorize the data, with explanation, as first-hand or second-hand data. |
| (b) |
Formulate a question related to self, family, or community which can best be answered using first-hand data, describe how that data could be collected, and answer the question (e.g., "What game will we play at home tonight?" "I can survey everyone at home to find out what games everyone wants to play."). |
| (c) |
Formulate a question related to self, family, or community, which can best be answered using second-hand data (e.g., "Which has the larger population – my community or my friend's community?"), describe how those data could be collected (I could find the data on the StatsCan website), and answer the question. |
| (d) |
Find examples of second-hand data in print and electronic media, such as newspapers, magazines, and the Internet, and compare different ways in which the data might be interpreted and used (e.g., statistics about health-related issues, sports data, or votes for favourite websites). |
