ID | Standard | StudyPug Topic |
|---|---|---|
CC.HSS.ID.A.1 | Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots). |
CC.HSS.ID.A.2 | Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets. |
CC.HSS.ID.A.3 | Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers). |
CC.HSS.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. |
CC.HSS.ID.B.5 | Summarize categorical data for two categories in two-way frequency tables. Interpret relative frequencies in the context of the data (including joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies). Recognize possible associations and trends in the data. |
CC.HSS.ID.B.6 | Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related. |
CC.HSS.IC.A.1 | Understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population. |
CC.HSS.IC.A.2 | Decide if a specified model is consistent with results from a given data-generating process, e.g., using simulation. |
CC.HSS.IC.B.3 | Recognize the purposes of and differences among sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies; explain how randomization relates to each. |
CC.HSS.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. |
CC.HSS.IC.B.5 | Use data from a randomized experiment to compare two treatments; use simulations to decide if differences between parameters are significant. |
CC.HSS.IC.B.6 | Evaluate reports based on data. |
CC.HSS.CP.A.2 | Understand that two events A and B are independent if the probability of A and B occurring together is the product of their probabilities, and use this characterization to determine if they are independent. |
CC.HSS.CP.A.3 | Understand the conditional probability of A given B as P(A and B)/P(B), and interpret independence of A and B as saying that the conditional probability of A given B is the same as the probability of A, and the conditional probability of B given A is the same as the probability of B. |
CC.HSS.CP.A.5 | Recognize and explain the concepts of conditional probability and independence in everyday language and everyday situations. |
CC.HSS.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. |
CC.HSS.CP.B.9 | Use permutations and combinations to compute probabilities of compound events and solve problems. |
CC.HSS.MD.A.1 | Define a random variable for a quantity of interest by assigning a numerical value to each event in a sample space; graph the corresponding probability distribution using the same graphical displays as for data distributions. |
CC.HSS.MD.A.2 | Calculate the expected value of a random variable; interpret it as the mean of the probability distribution. |
CC.HSS.MD.A.3 | Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a sample space in which theoretical probabilities can be calculated; find the expected value. |
CC.HSS.MD.B.7 | Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical testing, pulling a hockey goalie at the end of a game). |
Idaho High School Statistics: What Students Learn
Idaho high school Statistics covers a wide range of topics that help students make sense of data and uncertainty. Aligned to Idaho Content Standards Math, the course moves from organizing and displaying data to making predictions and decisions using probability and inference.
Data Analysis and Distributions
Students start by representing data using dot plots, histograms, and box plots. They compare data sets using measures of center — like mean and median — and measures of spread, including interquartile range and standard deviation. Understanding how outliers affect a distribution is a key skill at this level.
- Dot plots, histograms, and box plots
- Mean, median, and standard deviation
- Normal distributions and estimating population percentages
- Two-way frequency tables and relative frequencies
Scatter Plots and Correlation
Students represent two-variable data on scatter plots and analyze linear relationships. They compute and interpret correlation coefficients and learn the critical distinction between correlation and causation — a concept that applies far beyond the classroom.
Statistical Inference and Sampling
This unit introduces statistics as a process for drawing conclusions about populations from samples. Students explore sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies, and learn how randomization plays a role in each. They use simulation to estimate margins of error and evaluate the significance of results from randomized experiments.
- Random sampling and margin of error
- Sample surveys vs. experiments vs. observational studies
- Using simulations to compare two treatments
- Evaluating data-based reports
Probability
Students develop a solid foundation in probability, including independent events, conditional probability, the Addition Rule, and the general Multiplication Rule. Two-way tables become a tool for calculating and interpreting probabilities in real contexts. Permutations and combinations extend probability to compound events.
Random Variables and Expected Value
The course closes with random variables — assigning numerical values to outcomes and graphing probability distributions. Students calculate expected values and use them to analyze decisions, evaluate fairness, and apply probability concepts to real-world strategies like product testing or medical testing.
