7.SP.C6
Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably … Read More “7.SP.C6”
October 1, 20187.SP.C7
Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events. Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies; if the agreement is not good, explain possible sources of the discrepancy.
October 1, 20187.SP.C7a
Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes, and use the model to determine probabilities of events. For example, if a student is selected at random from a class, find the probability that Jane will be selected and the probability that a girl will be selected.
October 1, 20187.SP.C7b
Develop a probability model (which may not be uniform) by observing frequencies in data generated from a chance process. For example, find the approximate probability that a spinning penny will land heads up or that a tossed paper cup will land open-end down. Do the outcomes for the spinning penny appear to be equally likely … Read More “7.SP.C7b”
October 1, 20187.SP.C8
Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.
October 1, 20186.SP.B5b
Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement.
October 1, 20186.SP.B5c
Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
October 1, 20186.SP.B5d
Relating the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered.
October 1, 20186.SP.B4
Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
October 1, 20186.SP.A1
Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.
