Data Analysis and Statistics

6.DS.1Differentiate between statistical and non-statistical questions.6.DS.2Use center (mean, median, mode), spread (range, interquartile range, mean absolute value), and shape (symmetrical, skewed left, skewed right) to describe the distribution of a set of data collected to answer a statistical question.6.DS.3Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.6.DS.4Select and create an appropriate display for numerical data, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.6.DS.5Describe numerical data sets in relation to their real-world context.6.DS.5aState the sample size.6.DS.5bDescribe the qualitative aspects of the data (e.g., how it was measured, units of measurement).6.DS.5cGive measures of center (median, mean).6.DS.5dFind measures of variability (interquartile range, mean absolute deviation) using a number line.6.DS.5eDescribe the overall pattern (shape) of the distribution.6.DS.5fJustify the choices for measure of center and measure of variability based on the shape of the distribution.6.DS.5gDescribe the impact that inserting or deleting a data point has on the measures of center (median, mean) for a data set.
