| Students pose questions and collect, organize, represent, interpret and analyze data to answer those questions. Students develop and evaluate inferences, predictions and arguments that are based on data. |
| Indicators for grade 11 |
| 1. | Design a statistical experiment, survey or study for a problem; collect data for the problem; and interpret the data with appropriate graphical displays, descriptive statistics, concepts of variability, causation, correlation and standard deviation. (ORC Resources) |
| 2. | Describe the role of randomization in a well-designed study, especially as compared to a convenience sample, and the generalization of results from each. (ORC Resources) |
| 3. | Describe how a linear transformation of univariate data affects range, mean, mode, and median. (ORC Resources) |
| 4. | Create a scatterplot of bivariate data, identify trends, and find a function to model the data. (ORC Resources) |
| 5. | Use technology to find the Least Squares Regression Line, the regression coefficient, and the correlation coefficient for bivariate data with a linear trend, and interpret each of these statistics in the context of the problem situation. (ORC Resources) |
| 6. | Use technology to compute the standard deviation for a set of data, and interpret standard deviation in relation to the context or problem situation. (ORC Resources) |
| 7. | Describe the standard normal curve and its general properties, and answer questions dealing with data assumed to be normal. (ORC Resources) |
| 8. | Analyze and interpret univariate and bivariate data to identify patterns, note trends, draw conclusions, and make predictions. (ORC Resources) |
| 9. | Evaluate validity of results of a study based on characteristics of the study design, including sampling method, summary statistics and data analysis techniques. (ORC Resources) |
| 10. | Understand and use the concept of random variable, and compute and interpret the expected value for a random variable in simple cases. (ORC Resources) |
| 11. | Examine statements and decisions involving risk; e.g., insurance rates and medical decisions. (ORC Resources) |
