acquire, store and validate data from a range of sources using software, including spreadsheets and databases

Elaborations

• 1 acquiring data to answer questions for their own investigations, for example answering "Does the canteen sell the right food?" by designing a survey to collect food preferences data and accessing canteen sales data
• 2 judging how meaningful data is to a question, its correctness and how up to date the data is, for example "Does age affect the chance of cyclist injury?", "Are self-reported accidents reliable?" and "Is the data before cycleways existed relevant?"
• 3 storing acquired data using specialised and general software appropriate for how it will be accessed and manipulated, for example a spreadsheet for visualisation or a pre-defined database for filtering and queries
• 4 acquiring, storing and validating data from a reputable source, such as the Australian Bureau of Statistics, to analyse the geographic distribution of First Nations Australians, with the aim to highlight past and emerging trends
• 5 ensuring that the data used to train an AI model minimises any potential biases in its output and is representative of the target audience; for example, training a model on data collected from a single demographic group may not produce correct outputs for a more diverse population
