Content Strand 4: Probability and Statistics (PS)

 

PS01 (Probability) Demonstrate understanding of the concepts of compound,
dependent and independent events; determine and use probabilities of compound,
dependent, and independent events (1.4.1, 1.4.2)

 

PS02 (Data Collection and Central Tendencies) Identify possible sources of bias in
questions, data collection methods, samples, and/or measures of central tendency in a
situation and describe how such bias can be controlled; identify clusters and outliers and
determine how they may affect measures of central tendency (1.4.3, 1.4.4)

 

PS03 (Data Representation and Interpretation) Draw a reasonable line to describe the
data represented by a scatter plot and determine whether a straight line is an
appropriate way to describe the trend in the data; read and interpret data presented in
tables of ordered pairs and scatter plots and make predictions based on the given data;
use statistics to support different points of view or evaluate a statistical argument based
on data (1.4.5, 1.4.6)
