Game: CAT AND MOUSE
Aim: Catch the white mice
Method:
Move the cat with the arrow keys or by tapping in the game area to catch the white mouse. Avoid the red balloons but hit the blue balloons.
Your final score is based on all of that plus number of questions answered right, and the time taken.
8th grade / Statistics / Continuous data / Continuous grouped data / Grouped frequency tables
Data in frequency tables can be discrete or continuous. Discrete data consists of single values, often whole numbers, and is how most data is initially gathered. If there are many data points to process, it becomes useful to group that data into a set of classes of continuous data. Continuous data can be represented in a "Grouped frequency table". Each class covers the data points within a certain range, and the classes together cover the entire range of all the data points. In grouped frequency tables, it is important that the classes cover the entire range of the given data while not overlapping.
The benefit of grouped frequency tables becomes clear when there are so many raw data points that discrete values would become difficult to process. A limitation of continuous data is that individual data points are lost so that exact calculations of the mode, median or range of the original discrete data points becomes impossible.
In this topic you are asked to compare each grouped frequency table to the raw data that it should represent. Many of the tables have deliberate mistakes that you must identify. You can do so by counting up the data points for each class and comparing them to the given frequencies.
In the first question, the raw discrete data points are:
10, 8, 25, 18, 15, 22, 5 ,9
The grouped frequency table splits the data into classes: 1-10, 11-20, 21-30.
The frequency for the 1-10 class is given as 4. We can look through the data points and confirm that there are indeed 4 values within this range: 10, 8, 5 and 9. So that frequency is correct. Checking the 2 other classes shows us that the table does indeed accurately represent the data, so the answer in this case is "yes, the table does match the data".
With our Cat and mouse math game you will be practicing the topic "Grouped frequency tables" from 8th grade / Statistics / Continuous data / Continuous data. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to in each instance decide whether the grouped frequency table matches the raw data.
Cat versus mouse game with added balloons for math and fun. You are the ginger cat, and your life is being made a misery by some white mice which have come into the house and are proving hard to catch. Not to mention there is a mouse house party going on and lots of balloons getting in the way of your hunting.
So you have to catch the white mice, forget about the gray mice, hit the blue balloons but avoid the red balloons, and answer math questions (you are a CLEVER cat...). If it sounds complicated and a bit frantic, that's because it is. Do your best but don't worry if you can't catch all the mice - neither can we. It's a cat's life...
