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

Evaluate reports based on data.

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.

Use data from a randomized experiment to compare two treatments; use simulations to decide if differences between parameters are significant.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Below is a normal distribution that shows the height of 8-year-old boys in inches. The relative frequency of each height is shown along the
$${y-}$$
axis, and the height, in inches, is shown along the
$${x-}$$
axis.
The mean is 50 and the standard deviation is 2.

Estimate the percent of 8-year-old boys chosen randomly who will be shorter than 53 inches.
Problem 2
The mean combined score for last year’s SAT was 1083 with a standard deviation of 193. The mean and the standard deviation are based on students who took the SAT across the nation.
If you took the SAT and scored a combined score of 1100, what percent of students who took the SAT scored below you?
