Other Work Samples for:

Kendall has demonstrated sound knowledge and understanding of statistical terms and an adequate level of competence in reading a stem-and-leaf plot. The explanation of the process required to obtain the mean, median and range is correct but only the range has been accurately calculated. A statement has been made about the ‘average’ but Kendall has not indicated to which measure this refers. The second test has been identified as having the better results but the evidence to support this finding is based on the higher mean and range, without consideration of outliers. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C standard at the end of Stage 4.
