Chapter 13 - Variability and Data Distributions

6.SP.A.2 - Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.

6.SP.A.3 - Recognize 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 it values vary with a single number.

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

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

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.

6.SP.B.5d - Relating the choice of measure of center variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered.
