    Descriptive Statistics

    1. 1.

      Summarize, represent, and interpret data on single count or measurement variable.S.DS.1

      1. 1.

        Recognize the purposes of and differences among sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies; explain how randomization relates to each.M.PS.1

      2. 2.

        Use data from a sample survey to estimate a population mean or proportion; develop a margin of error through the use of simulation models for random sampling.M.PS.2

      3. 3.

        Use data from a randomized experiment to compare two treatments; use simulations to decide if differences between parameters are significant.M.PS.3

      4. 4.

        Evaluate reports based on data. Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities.M.PS.4

      5. 5.

        Represent data with plots on the real number line (dots plots, histograms, and box plots).M.PS.5

      6. 6.

        Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distributions to compare center and spread of two or more different data sets. Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).M.PS.6

      7. 7.

        Construct and interpret two-way frequency tables of data when two categories are associated with each object being classified. Use the two-way table as a sample space to decide if events are independent and to approximate conditional probabilities.M.PS.7

      8. 8.

        Summarize categorical data for two categories in two-way frequency tables. Interpret relative frequencies in the context of the data (including joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies). Recognize possible associations and trends in the data.M.PS.8

    Probability

    1. 2.

      1. 9.

      3. 11.

        Recognize the conditional probability of A given B as P(A and B)/P(B), and interpret independence of A and B as saying that the conditional probability of A given B is the same as the probability of A, and the conditional probability of B given A is the same as the probability of B.M.PS.11

      4. 12.

        Construct and interpret two-way frequency tables of data when two categories are associated with each object being classified.

      8. 16.

        Apply the general Multiplication Rule in a uniform probability model, P(A and B) = P(A)P(B|A) = P(B)P(A|B) and interpret the answer in terms of the model.M.PS.16
