This unit describes the skills and knowledge to collect, organise, illustrate, summarise and interpret a range of statistical data for work.

This unit applies to individuals who need numeracy skills at Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) level 4 to undertake a vocational training pathway or workplace tasks.

This unit is designed for integration and contextualisation with vocational units to support achievement of vocational competency.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Element	Performance Criteria
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Prepare to undertake a work related statistical investigation	1.1 Identify workplace issue requiring investigation 1.2 Determine audience 1.3 Identify data to be collected 1.4 Select a method to collect data
2. Undertake statistical investigation using discrete data	2.1 Collect and organise appropriate statistical data 2.2 Illustrate data in appropriate formats 2.3 Compare effectiveness of different types of graphs 2.4 Calculate the summary statistics for collected data 2.5 Interpret the results
3. Extract and interpret information from statistical investigation	3.1 Check that the data meets the expected results and content 3.2 Extract and interpret information from the results including tables, graphs and summary statistics 3.3 Use mathematical language and symbols to report results of investigation

Evidence of the ability to:

use one or two methods to collect data

calculate summary statistics and interpreting results

illustrate data using workplace appropriate methods

interpret information in tables, and graphs.

Note: Where a specific volume and/or frequency is not specified, evidence must be provided at least once.

Evidence of the following knowledge must be demonstrated:

methods of data collection

difference between discrete and continuous data

types of graphs.

Assessment texts and tasks reflect those typically found in the workplace.

Individuals can access a range of established support resources.

Culturally appropriate processes and techniques suited to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of individuals and the work being performed must be used.

Reasonable adjustments can be made to ensure equity in assessment for people with disabilities.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements, have a sound knowledge of the ACSF and have demonstrable expertise in the vocational contextualisation and assessment of the core skill - numeracy.

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
