Unit Overview:
In this unit, students apply visual displays and summary statistics to different types of data and probability distributions. They identify different ways of collecting data - including sampling surveys, experiments, and simulations - and the role of randomness and carefully design affect conclusions.
Instructional Segments
Instructional Segment I: Standard Deviation, Mean, & Normal Distribution
Instructional Segment 2: Random Processes and Empirical versus Theoretical
Instructional Segment 3: Sample Surveys, Experiments and Observational Studies
Enduring Understanding:

Enduring Understanding:
- The way data is collected, organized, and displayed influences interpretations.
Essential Questions:
- What is the importance of randomization in surveys, samples and experiments?
- How can you conclude if data is telling what it is supposed to tell
- How do you use current data to make future predictions?
