"I Can" Statement and Core Standards
Student Statement
I am able to accurately calculate the mean and median of any given set of data (using both lists of data and frequency tables).
I am able to decide which measure of center would be better to use to describe a given set of data.
Common Core Standards
ID.A.2: Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.
ID.A.3: Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).
