Evaluate a statistically based report
NZQA suppresses grade rates for low-cohort standards.
You need to look at a report based on survey data and explain what's good or bad about it. This means identifying problems like dodgy sampling methods, errors in how the data was collected, and whether the findings actually answer the question the survey was trying to solve.
You identify several features of the survey (like sampling method, sample size, or errors) and comment on them in relation to what the report is trying to do.
You identify and comment on the key features and findings, and you support each comment with specific statistical evidence or details about how the survey was run.
You bring together the statistical details and the real-world context to make a overall judgment about whether the report actually does a good job of answering its research question, noting both strengths and weaknesses in the methodology.
