TOOLS OF DATA ANALYSIS

Collect, Organize and Display Data
Learn to collect, organize, and display data in a variety of forms, including tables, line graphs, charts, bar graphs, to determine how different ways of presenting data can lead to different interpretations.

Central Tendency
Understand and apply the concepts of range and central tendency (mean, median, and mode).

Applying Central Tendency
Learn to analyze real-world data by applying appropriate formulas for measures of central tendency and organizing data in a quality display, using appropriate technology, including calculators and computers.

PATTERNS and PREDICTIONS

Expectations of Probability
Learn to compare experimental results with mathematical expectations of probabilities.

Odds
Learn how to determines odds for and odds against a given situation.

INFERENCES and VALID ARGUMENTS

Statistical Analysis
Learn to formulate hypotheses, designs experiments, collects and interprets data, and evaluates hypotheses by making inferences and drawing conclusions based on statistics (range, mean, media, and mode) and tables, graphs, and charts.

Uses of Statistical Analysis
Learn to identify the common uses and misuses of probability and statistical analysis in everyday world.
