Which statement best describes aggregate data in the PE context?

• A. Individual scores for a class
• B. Overall class average scores
• C. Personal health history
• D. Names of students

Answer: (B)

Aggregate data describes information that summarizes a group rather than individuals. In PE, this means using measures that reflect the whole class’s performance, such as the overall class average score, rather than focusing on any one student. The class average gives a sense of how the group is performing as a whole, helps identify trends, and informs instruction and program planning.

Other options point to data tied to individuals or identifying details, not to group-level summaries. Individual scores are data points for each student, a personal health history is sensitive personal information, and names identify students rather than summarize group performance.
