Statistical Questions (SP 6.1)SP 6.1
Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in
the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a
statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.
Data Distribution and Shape (SP 6.2)SP 6.2
Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its
center, spread, and overall shape.
Measure of Center and Variation (SP 6.3)SP 6.3
Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a
measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
Visual Data Sets - Dot Plots, Histograms, & Box Plots (SP 6.4)SP 6.4
Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
Numerical Data Sets (SP 6.5)SP 6.5
Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by: - a) Reporting the number of observations.
- b) Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement.
- c) Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
- d) Relating the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered.
