Probability and Statistics
This interactive example demonstrates how to classify data using key vocabulary (e.g., qualitative vs quantitative, discrete vs continuous) and then provides a practice activity to test those classifications. It builds intuition for statistical thinking and distribution-oriented representation, connecting data types to how data are typically summarized (such as bar charts and distribution views). The construction is driven by GeoGebra objects and controls listed in the provided summary: a Segment command is used to create UI/diagram segments, while buttons btnData, btnQuant, btnQual, btnDisc, btnCont and accompanying texts textData, textClassif, textQual, textQuant, textDiscr, textCont guide the selection process. The currently chosen category is tracked with variables data, qual, quant, disc, cont, supported by labeled graphical/layout points A–F and distance measures vDist and hDist. Reset and feedback are handled via btnReset together with category-specific segment objects segmQual, segmQuant, segmDisc, segmCont. Suitable for early probability & statistics lessons, class demos, and guided student practice.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a simple plane diagram that suggests classifying data by key terms. Place a reference point A and connect it with two line segments to points B and C, forming two guiding segments from the same start point. Then place another reference point D and connect it with two additional line segments to points E and F, forming a second pair of segments from a different start point. The result should clearly show two sets of connected segments originating from A and D, leaving room for later category labeling or selection guidance.
