Context of the Standard |
When answering questions about text in history or English or investigating a question in science, evidence should be used to support your answer. Data are a form of evidence that can be used when answering questions or in making predictions. Data is often sorted or grouped to provide additional clarity. The same data could be manipulated in different ways to emphasize particular aspects or parts of the data set. Computers can be used to obtain, store, and manipulate data. Computers also are used to construct tables and graphs from data collected in class as well as existing data sets that have been compiled by others. The ability to determine what type of data is needed to answer a question and use a computer to find these data are skills needed in many career and academic fields. |
