Ppdac Cycle Template

The document outlines the PPDAC cycle for investigating a problem using population data. The cycle includes posing a question, planning data collection through random sampling, analyzing the sample data through statistical measures and plots, and concluding by making a claim about population parameters and discussing sources of variation and bias.

Using the PPDAC cycle providing a structure to the

investigation.
Problem

Plan

Data

Analysis

posing an appropriate comparison,


investigative question from a given set of
population data
For existing data set state location of data and
how it was collected. Students should select
their own sample size and method and
provide justification for the random sampling
method chosen, that is a simple random
sample will be representative of the
population.
State the question used to obtain the data.
For existing data sets the raw data may be
presented as a dot plot. State variables and
units of measurement. For data selected by
hand present table of data.
Selecting and using appropriate displays and
measures
Plot(s) of the sample data
5 point summary statistics calculated
State sample median and IQR
Calculate informal confidence intervals
calculated and plotted.
Make estimate of population
parameters
Comment on the shape of the plotted data
using appropriate statistical language such as
spread, skew, variability, mean, mode.

Conclusion
(Communicate
findings)

Make a claim about whether one group has


larger values than another group using
informal confidence intervals for the
population medians.
Comment on the sampling method, including
the size.
Discussing sampling variability, including the
variability of estimates Explains the
connections among sample, population,
sampling variability, sample size effect,

informal confidence interval, and degree of


confidence.
Discussing sample distributions
Consider possible causes of variation using
knowledge of the context.
Discuss possible sources of bias.
