Math: Statistics: Data Interpretation and Probability: Comprehend Develop

This document discusses key learner outcomes and standards for success in statistics and data interpretation. It outlines techniques for representing and analyzing data like scatter plots, mean, median and mode. Students should be able to organize data, detect patterns, interpret graphs and tables, and evaluate data reported in the media. The document also covers probability, sampling methods, and distinguishing correlation from causation. The goal is for students to apply statistical concepts in social and natural sciences.

Comprehend Develop ability to:
• Curve-fitting techniques (e.g., median-fit line and • Represent data in a variety of ways (e.g., scatter plot, line
regression line) for various applications graph and two-way table) and select the most appropriate
• Characteristics of the Gaussian normal distribution • Use statistical summaries data (e.g., stand deviation, range
and mode)
• Organize and display data using appropriate methods to detect
patterns and departures from patterns
• Read and interpret tables, charts and graphs
• Compute and explain summary statistics for distributions of
data including measure of center and spread
• Compare data sets using graphs and summary statistics
• Create scatter plots, analyze patterns and describe
relationships in paired data
• Evaluate reports based on data published in the media by
considering the source of data, the design of the study, and
the way the data are analyzed and displayed
• Identify and explain misleading uses of data
• Recognize when arguments based on data confuse correlation
with causation
• Explain the impact of sampling methods, bias and the phrasing
of questions asked during data collection and the conclusions
that can rightfully be made
• Design simple experiments of investigations to collect data to
answer questions of interest
• Explain the difference between randomized experiment and
observational studies
• Calculates simple probabilities, explain, and apply their
concepts

○ How probability quantifies the likelihood that an evetn


occurs in terms of numbers
○ How the relative frequency of a specified outcome of an
event can be used to estimate the probability of the
outcome
○ How the law of large numbers can be applied in simple
examples
