Chapter 12 - Data Display and Measures of Center

6.SP.A.1 - Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers.

6.SP.B.4 - Display numerical data in plots on a number line. including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.

6.SP.B.5 - Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:

6.SP.B.5a - Reporting the number of observations.

6.SP.B.5b - Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurements

6.SP.B.5c - Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
