The ethical use of statistics is a paramount concern in the Information Age. Organize and analyze data using mean, median, mode, and range. Assemble data and use matrices to formulate and solve problems. Construct inferences and convincing arguments based on data. Using the height of students in the room, calculate the mean, median, mode, and range.
Probability is the study of uncertainty.
Informed consumers of information understand the basic principles of probability. People need to understand the uncertainties and limitations involved when drawing conclusions from data. Find the probability of simple events and make predictions by applying the theories of probability. Explain the idea that probability can be represented as a fraction between and including zero and one. Use simulations to estimate probabilities.
