MYP 3 Summative Assessment Task

Unit 3: Real-life Applications of Probability and Statistics


Criterion D: Applying Mathematics in Real-Life Contexts
Task Title: Analyzing Data and Making Predictions
Objective: Students will demonstrate their understanding of probability and statistics by collecting data,
analyzing it, and making predictions based on their analysis. This task will help students connect
mathematical concepts to real-life situations and develop their critical thinking and problem-solving
skills.
Task Overview: Students will choose a real-life scenario where probability and statistics play a crucial
role. They will gather data, analyze it using statistical methods, and make predictions based on their
findings. Students will then present their work in a written report and a visual presentation.
Steps and Requirements:
Step 1: Choose a Real-Life Scenario
Select a scenario from one of the following or propose your own (with teacher approval):
 Weather patterns and predictions
 Sports statistics and performance analysis
 Survey of students’ favorite school subjects
 Analysis of a local business’s sales data
 Environmental data (e.g., pollution levels, recycling rates)
Step 2: Data Collection
Collect data relevant to your chosen scenario. This can be done through:
 Surveys or questionnaires
 Online databases or reputable websites
 Historical records or reports
 Observations and recordings
Step 3: Data Analysis
Analyze the collected data using the following statistical methods:
 Mean, median, and mode
 Range, quartiles, and interquartile range
 Standard deviation (optional for higher challenge)
 Probability calculations (e.g., likelihood of an event occurring)

Step 4: Make Predictions
Using your analysis, make predictions related to your scenario. For example:
 Predict future weather conditions based on past data
 Forecast a sports team’s performance in upcoming games
 Estimate the most popular school subject next year
 Predict future sales trends for a local business
 Project future pollution levels based on current data
Step 5: Written Report
Prepare a detailed report that includes:
 An introduction to your chosen scenario and why it was selected
 A description of the data collection process
 A presentation of the analyzed data (charts, graphs, tables)
 Calculations and interpretations of statistical measures
 Predictions and their justifications
 Reflections on the reliability and limitations of your data and analysis
Step 6: Visual Presentation
Create a visual presentation (poster, PowerPoint, or similar) that summarizes:
 Key findings from your data analysis
 Predictions and their implications
 Visual aids (graphs, charts, etc.) to enhance understanding
Step 7: Peer Review and Reflection
 Participate in a peer review session where you present your findings and receive feedback from
classmates.
 Reflect on the feedback and your overall learning experience in a short written reflection.

4-5: Adequate Performance
 The student demonstrates an adequate understanding of applying mathematical concepts to the
chosen scenario.
 The analysis is mostly complete and correct, with minor errors.
6-7: Good Performance
 The student demonstrates a good understanding of applying mathematical concepts to the chosen
scenario.
 The analysis is complete and correct, with clear interpretations and logical predictions.
8: Excellent Performance
 The student demonstrates an excellent understanding of applying mathematical concepts to the
chosen scenario.
 The analysis is thorough, accurate, and insightful, with well-justified predictions and reflections
on the data's reliability and limitations.
