Essential Question
Graphical representations
and statistical measures
influence interpretations
and predictions about data.
How can the results of a statistical investigation be used to
support an argument?
Indicators
4.8.1.1 design, conduct, analyze, and communicate the results of a statistical experiment.
4.8.2.1 organize and display data, with and without technology, using a variety of displays, including
back-to-back stem and leaf plots.
4.8.3.1 analyze and interpret distributions of data by using a number of different methods including
back-to-back stem and leaf plots.
4.8.4.1 analyze the relationship between mean, median, mode, and range of a data set.
4.8.5.1 evaluate arguments that are based on data analysis for accuracy and validity.

Essential Question
The relationship among
events affects probability.
How do compound events affect probability?
Indicators
5.8.1.1 distinguish between permutations and combinations.
5.8.1.2 apply the Fundamental Counting Principle to solve problems.
5.8.2.1 find the probability of an event that does not have equally likely outcomes.
5.8.2.2 find the probability of dependent and independent events using various methods, including
constructing a sample space.
5.8.3.1 predict the probability of compound events based on the outcomes of an actual event or a
simulation.
