S.ID.A.4. Use the mean and standard deviation of a data set to fit it to a normal distribution and to estimate population percentages. Recognize that there are data sets for which such a procedure is not appropriate. Use calculators, spreadsheets, and tables to estimate areas under the normal curve. Supporting (Algebra 2)
S.IC.A.1. (+) Understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population.
S.IC.A.2. (+) Decide if a specified model is consistent with results from a given data-generating process, e.g., using simulation.
S.IC.B.4. (+) 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.CP.B.7. (+) Apply the Addition Rule, P(A or B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A and B), and interpret the answer in terms of the model.
Learning Objective
I can recognize the relationship among populations, samples, parameters, and statistics and identify representative sampling methods.
