Examine a sample of a population to generalize information about the population.- Differentiate between a sample and a population.
- Compare sampling techniques to determine whether a sample is random and thus representative of a population, explaining that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.
- Determine whether conclusions and generalizations can be made about a population based on a sample.
- Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest, generating multiple samples to gauge variation and making predictions or conclusions about the population.
- Informally explain situations in which statistical bias may exist.

Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions. For example, estimate the mean word length in a book by randomly sampling words from the book; predict the winner of a school election based on randomly sampled survey data. Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be. |

Broaden statistical reasoning by using the GAISE model:- Formulate Questions: Recognize and formulate a statistical
question as one that anticipates variability and can be answered
with quantitative data. For example, “How do the heights of
seventh graders compare to the heights of eighth graders?”(GAISE Model, step 1)
- Collect Data: Design and use a plan to collect appropriate data to
answer a statistical question. (GAISE Model, step 2)
- Analyze Data: Select appropriate graphical methods and
numerical measures to analyze data by displaying variability
within a group, comparing individual to individual, and comparing
individual to group. (GAISE Model, step 3)
- Interpret Results: Draw logical conclusions and make
generalizations from the data based on the original question.
(GAISE Model, step 4)

Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities,
measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. |

For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable. |

Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team and both distributions have similar variability (mean absolute deviation) of about 5 cm. The difference between the mean heights of the two teams (10 cm) is about twice the variability (5 cm) on either team. On a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable. |

- Understand the mean absolute deviation of a data set is a measure of variability that describes the average distance that points within a data set are from the mean of the data set.
- Understand that the range describes the spread of the entire data set.
- Understand that the interquartile range describes the spread of the middle 50% of the data.
- Informally assess the difference between two data sets by examining the overlap and separation between the graphical representations of two data sets.
