Unit 1: Learning Targets

Priority Standards

1A.1-4

  • I can analyze the four main characteristics of the distribution of quantitative values: Shape, Center, Spread, and Unusual Features (Outliers and Gaps).

1C.1

  • I can compare two distributions, contrasting their measures of center and spread.

1C.2-4

  • I can compare multiple distributions, comparing clusters, gaps, outliers, shapes, and other unusual features.

3C.1

  • I can recognize, and test for, a normal distribution.
  • I can analyze normal distributions to determine properties.

3C.2-3

  • I can use the z-table and use a normal distribution to model real-life situations.

 

Supporting Standards

1B

  • I can calculate measures of center (mean and median) and measures of spread (standard deviation and interquartile range).
  • I can calculate a z-score and use it to measure a value's relative position in a distribution.
  • I can tell what effect changing units will have on measures of center and spread.
