Statistics and Probability

6.SP.1Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.6.SP.2Understand that a set of data has a distribution that can be described by its center (mean, median, or mode), spread (range), and overall shape and can be used to answer a statistical question.6.SP.3Recognize that a measure of center (mean, median, or mode) for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation (range) describes how its values vary with a single number.6.SP.4Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot or line plots, histograms and box (box and whisker) plots.6.SP.5Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:6.SP.6Analyze whether a game is mathematically fair or unfair by explaining the probability of all possible outcomes.
