Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability for Grades 9-10
 |
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:
| 10.D.1 |
Select, create, and interpret an appropriate graphical representation (e.g., scatterplot, table, stem-and-leaf plots, box-and-whisker plots, circle graph, line graph, and line plot) for a set of data and use appropriate statistics (e.g., mean, median, range, and mode) to communicate information about the data. Use these notions to compare different sets of data.
|
| 10.D.2 |
Approximate a line of best fit (trend line) given a set of data (e.g., scatterplot). Use technology when appropriate.
|
| 10.D.3 |
Describe and explain how the relative sizes of a sample and the population affect the validity of predictions from a set of data. |
Exploratory Concepts and Skills
for Grades 9-10 and Single-Subject Courses
- Explore designs of surveys, polls, and experiments to assess the validity of their results and to identify potential sources of bias; identify the types of conclusions that can be drawn.
- Describe the differences between the theoretical probability of simple events and the experimental outcome from simulations.
