Stats Statements

Stage: 5 Challenge Level: Challenge Level:1

These questions are not necessarily designed to have a 'right' or 'wrong' answer -- there are various shades of grey. The purpose is to get you thinking about the statistics involved. You can do this at any level of statistics (ignore any parts which seem too complicated)

Can you think of concrete examples (which may or may not be simple) where the statements in the questions do or do not happen?
The NRICH Project aims to enrich the mathematical experiences of all learners. To support this aim, members of the NRICH team work in a wide range of capacities, including providing professional development for teachers wishing to embed rich mathematical tasks into everyday classroom practice.
