Organizing data using Carroll diagrams

In this lesson, we will learn:

• What the regions of the Carroll Diagram mean in order to sort objects by their attributes
• The similarities and differences between the Carroll Diagram and Venn Diagram
• How to describe pairs of opposite attributes

Notes:

• Carroll Diagrams organize data in a table combining yes-or-no attributes
• i.e. attribute #1 (yes) and NOT attribute #1 (no)

• Sorting Data with Carroll Diagrams is similar to Venn Diagrams
• Venn diagrams use circles to group what belongs or does not belong
• Carroll diagrams use the column (vertical) and row (horizontal) of boxes

• The regions in a Carroll Diagram and Venn Diagram are the same:

• Some examples for pairs of opposite yes-or-no attributes:
• "even number" and "not even number" (odd)
• "odd number" and "not odd number" (even"
• "less than 10" and "not less than 10" (10 or more)
• "more than 5" and "not more than 5" (5 or less)
