Actions

S.1 Sampling and Data

  • S.1a Understand the investigative process of statistics and differentiate between descriptive and inferential statistics.

  • S.1b Differentiate between a population and a sample.

  • S.1c Construct a simple random sample.

  • S.1d Understand the differences between stratified sampling, cluster sampling, systematic sampling, and convenience sampling.

  • S.1e Determine when samples of convenience are acceptable and how sampling bias and error can occur.

  • S.1f Identify and classify data as either qualitative or quantitative and classify quantitative data as either discrete or continuous data.

  • S.1g Display and interpret qualitative data with graphs: pie graphs, bar graphs, and pareto charts.

  • S.1h Differentiate between levels of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.

  • S.1i Create a frequency distribution from a list of quantitative and/or qualitative data.

  • S.1j Calculate relative frequencies and cumulative frequencies using a frequency distribution table.

  • S.1k Understand differences between a designed experiment and an observational study.

  • S.1l Differentiate between the types of variables used in a designed experiment.

  • S.1m Understand different methods used in an experiment to isolate effects of the explanatory variable.

S.2 Descriptive Statistics

S.3 Probability

S.4 Discrete Random Variables

S.5 Continuous Random Variables and the Normal Distribution

  • S.5a Recognize and understand continuous probability density functions.

  • S.5b Use a probability density curve to describe a population, including a normal population.

  • S.5c Calculate and interpret the area under a probability density curve.

  • S.5d Calculate and interpret a z-score, understanding the concept of "standardizing" data.

  • S.5e Calculate and interpret z-scores using the Empirical Rule, understanding the general properties of the normal distribution: 100% is the total area under the curve, exactly 50% is to the left and right of the mean, and it is perfectly symmetric about the mean.

  • S.5f Use technology to calculate the area under the curve for any normal distribution model: left, right, and between.

  • S.5g Use technology to calculate percentiles, quartiles, and other numerical values of X for a specified area under a normal curve, including unusual values (P(X) < 5% and μ ± 2σ).

S.6 Central Limit Theorem

  • S.6a Recognize the characteristics of the mean of sample means taken from different types of populations: normal and non-normal.

  • S.6b Calculate the mean of sample means taken from different types of populations: normal and non-normal.

  • S.6c Describe how the means of samples calculated from a non-normal population might be distributed.

  • S.6d Apply the Central Limit Theorem to normal and non-normal populations and compute probabilities of a sample mean.

  • S.6e Determine whether the Central Limit Theorem can be used for a given situation.

  • S.6f Assess the impact of sample size on sampling variability.

S.7 Confidence Intervals

S.8 Hypothesis Testing

  • S.8a Determine the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses when presented with a problem.

  • S.8b Differentiate between Type I and Type II errors.

  • S.8c Understand and list the assumptions needed to conduct z-tests and t-tests.

  • S.8d Determine whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis using the p-value method.

  • S.8e Determine if a test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed.

  • S.8f Differentiate between independent group and matched pair sampling.

  • S.8g Calculate test statistics and p-values for hypothesis tests: single proportion, single mean, and difference between two means.

  • S.8h Conduct hypothesis tests for a single proportion and a single mean.

  • S.8i Test hypotheses regarding the difference of two independent means (assume the variances are not pooled).

  • S.8j Draw conclusions and make inferences about claims based on hypotheses tests.

S.9 Regression Correlation
