This subtask includes variable selection and determining how much of the data are used. Students need to choose reasonable variables to reflect their definitions of problem tasks. Sampling They determine what data is appropriate to describe or explain the given problem contexts strategies based on their definitions. Beyond variable selection, students need to explore the nature of data so that the amount of data used is representative of the sample. A critical look at the data is required. Students

The Reader Belief Inventory (RBI) measures students‟ beliefs about text.17 The RBI consistsof two subscales, reflecting transmission and transaction beliefs. Transmission beliefs treat textas a means of direct communication between author and reader, without interpretation (e.g., anitem from the transmission subscale: The main purpose of reading is to understand what theauthor says). If a reader holds this view, he expects the author to communicate factualinformation in a direct fashion. The author is the authority.
