M.EE.S-IC.1-2
Grade-Level Standard
M.S-IC.1 Understand
statistics as a process for
making inferences about
population parameters
based on a random
sample from that
population;
M.S-IC.2 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?

Determine the
likelihood of an
event occurring
when the outcomes
are equally likely to
occur
Linkage Levels
Initial Precursor:
• Compare objects for sameness
• Arrange objects in pairs
Distal Precursor:
• Recognize outcomes of an event
• Recognize possible outcomes
Proximal Precursor:
• Recognize sample space
Target:
• Determine theoretical probability of a
simple event where all outcomes are
equally likely
Successor:
• Determine theoretical probability of
simple event where some outcomes
are more likely than others
