Learning Standards
Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability
for Grades 11-12
 |
Formulate questions that can be addressed with data and collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer them |
 |
Select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data |
 |
Develop and evaluate inferences and predictions that are based on data |
 |
Understand and apply basic concepts of probability |
Learning Standards
Students engage in problem solving, communicating, reasoning, connecting, and representing as they:
| 12.D.1 |
Design surveys and apply random sampling techniques to avoid bias in the data collection.
|
| 12.D.2 |
Select an appropriate graphical representation for a set of data and use appropriate statistics (e.g., quartile or percentile distribution) to communicate information about the data.
|
| 12.D.3 |
Apply regression results and curve fitting to make predictions from data.
|
| 12.D.4 |
Apply uniform, normal, and binomial distributions to the solutions of problems.
|
| 12.D.5 |
Describe a set of frequency distribution data by spread (i.e., variance and standard deviation), skewness, symmetry, number of modes, or other characteristics. Use these concepts in everyday applications.
|
| 12.D.6 |
Use combinatorics (e.g., "fundamental counting principle," permutations, and combinations) to solve problems, in particular, to compute probabilities of compound events. Use technology as appropriate.
|
| 12.D.7 |
Compare the results of simulations (e.g., ran-dom number tables, random functions, and area models) with predicted probabilities. |
Exploratory Concepts and Skills
for Grades 11-12 and Single-Subject Courses
- Use technology to perform linear, quadratic, and exponential regression on a set of data.
- Design surveys and apply random sampling techniques to avoid bias in the data collection.
