Party Planning Project Summative Task
Name:________________________
Description: Over the last several weeks, we have been exploring data. We have looked at the collection,
representation, interpretation, and evaluation of data. It is now time to put all of the skills we have practiced
to good use. You are tasked with coming up with a plan for a class end of year celebration. You are responsible
for coming up with the survey questions, collecting the data, representing the data (making the graphs),
interpreting the data (describing what the data tells you), and evaluating the data (determining if it is valid and
if we can do what it is telling us).

Your plan must include the following:
Your survey questions – be prepared to discuss if they are biased or unbiased and why you asked the
questions you did. Include the population you asked as well.
Your graphs – you are required to produce at least 3 graphs. Be prepared to justify why you chose
the type(s) of graphs you did to display your data and why you feel they were the best choice to represent
your data.
Interpretations of what the data told you – be prepared to discuss how you interpreted the data in your
graphs.
Evaluation of your data and your final recommendation for our class celebration. Note that your
recommendation must be based on the data you collected.
