Unit 9 Statistics and Probability

SP01 Students will be expected to describe the effect on the collection of data of bias, use of language, ethics, cost, time and timing, privacy, and cultural sensitivity.

SP02 Students will be expected to select and defend the choice of using either a population or a sample of a population to answer a question.

SP03 Students will be expected to develop and implement a project plan for the collection, display, and analysis of data by: formulating a question for investigation; choosing a data collection method that includes social considerations; selecting a population or a sample; collecting the data; displaying the collected data in an appropriate manner; drawing conclusions to answer the question

SP04 Students will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of the role of probability in society.
