Investigate a given multivariate data set using the statistical enquiry cycle
You need to investigate a dataset with multiple variables (like age, income, and location all in one dataset) by working through the statistical enquiry cycle. This means asking a comparison question, creating displays to visualize the data, calculating summary statistics, and then writing up what you found about the patterns and differences you discovered.
You work through each step of the statistical enquiry cycle and make comparisons, using displays and summary statistics to support your findings.
You link your findings back to the context and population, making supporting statements that reference specific summary statistics, data values, or features visible in your displays.
You combine statistical knowledge with understanding of the context throughout your entire investigation, and you reflect on your process or discuss alternative explanations for what the data shows.
