Over the next unit, I'd like you to consider this COMPELLING QUESTION:

• BIG IDEA 1: Variation and Distribution How does a change in one variable affect another? Example: Does the fact that the number of shark attacks increases with ice cream sales necessarily mean that ice cream sales cause shark attacks?

• BIG IDEA 2 : Patterns and Uncertainty How do we give value to the difference and similarities between two groups?
  Example: how might you represent incomes of individuals with and without a college degree to help describe similarities and/or differences between the two groups?

• BIG IDEA 3 : Data-Based Predictions, Decisions, and Conclusions How do we use data to make predictions, decisions, and conclusions?
  Example: How can you determine the effectiveness of a linear model that uses the number of cricket chirps per minute to predict temperature?
