Game: UXO
Aim: Knock out the targets, avoid the bombs
Method:
Click or tap and hold to destroy the objects while avoiding the bombs. When you knock out all 10 targets, you must answer the question to continue to the next level. There is a time limit of 30 seconds to get all 10 targets or you lose 50 points.
Scoring is :
Hit target : +10
Hit bomb : -5
Right answer : +50
Wrong answers : -20
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 UXO 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.
UXO is a fun game to learn math where you attempt to knock over all the target objects while avoiding clicking / tapping on the bombs.
After each level, win an additional 50 points by correctly answering a math question from your selected topic. Wrong answers lose you 20 points but you can answer multiple times. Each level lasts 30 seconds: if you haven't cleared all the targets in that time, you lose 50 points. High scores can be added to the UXO leaderboards.
