A. Read, create and use line graphs, histograms, circle
graphs, box-and-whisker plots, stem-and-leaf plots and other representations
when appropriate.
|
1. Read, construct and interpret line graphs, circle
graphs, histograms and stem-and-leaf plot.
|
|
B. Interpret data by looking for patterns and
relationships, draw and justify conclusions and answer related questions.
|
1. Describe the frequency distribution of a set of data,
as shown in a histogram or frequency table, by general appearance or shape; e.g.,
number of modes, middle of
data and level symmetry,
outliers.
|
|
D. Compare increasingly complex displays of data, such as
multiple sets of data on
the same graph.
|
1. Compare representations of the same data in different types
of graphs, such as a bar graph and circle graph.
|
|
E. Collect, organize, display and interpret data for a
specific purpose or need.
|
1. Select, create and use graphical representations that
are appropriate for the type of data collected.
|
|
F. Determine and use the range, mean, median and mode to
analyze and compare data and explain what each indicates about the data.
|
1. Analyze the different information provided by measures
of center (mean, mode and median) and measures of spread (range).
|
|
G. Evaluate conjectures and predictions based upon data
presented in tables and graphs, and identify misuses of statistical data and
display.
|
1. Make logical inferences from statistical data.
|
|
K. Make and justify predictions based on experimental and
theoretical probabilities.
|
1. Design an experiment to test a theoretical probability
and explain how the results may vary.
