Algebra II: Statistics and Probability: Making Inferences and Justifying Conclusions (S-IC)

Understand and evaluate random processes underlying statistical experiments

S-IC.1

Fully covered
Understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population.

S-IC.2

Fully covered
Decide if a specified model is consistent with results from a given data-generating process, e.g., using simulation. For example, a model says a spinning coin falls heads up with probability 0.5. Would a result of 5 tails in a row cause you to question the model?

Make inferences and justify conclusions from sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies

S-IC.3

Fully covered
Recognize the purposes of and differences among sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies; explain how randomization relates to each.

S-IC.4

Fully covered
Use data from a sample survey to estimate a population mean or proportion; develop a margin of error through the use of simulation models for random sampling.

S-IC.5

Partially covered
Use data from a randomized experiment to compare two treatments; use simulations to decide if differences between parameters are significant.

S-IC.6

Fully covered
Evaluate reports based on data.
