Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data
Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data
Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data
• Determines appropriate intervals and/or scale for a bar graph
• Interprets data given in horizontal and vertical bar graphs to solve
problems
• Reads and interprets data in box-and-whisker plots
• Determines the mean of a complex set of data (e.g., fractions, integers,
many data points)
• Solves problems with missing data when the mean is known
• Determines the median from a complex set of data (e.g., not in order,
many data points)
• Determines the range of a complex set of data
• Estimates line of best fit to make predictions
• Reads and interprets data in tables
• Reads and interprets data in box-and-whisker plots
• Reads and interprets interquartile range in box-and-whisker plots
• Reads and interprets data in stem-and-leaf plots
• Determines the range of a complex set of data
• Identifies outliers on a data display (e.g., uses interquartile range to
identify outliers on a box-and-whisker plot)
• Determines the correlation for a set of data
• Identifies a set of data with a given mean, median, and/or mode
• Interprets the meaning of slope and intercepts in problem solving
situations
• Reads and interprets interquartile range in box-and-whisker plots
• Solves complex problems involving mean
• Identifies outliers on a data display (e.g., uses interquartile range to
identify outliers on a box-and-whisker plot)
• Computes and compares mean, median, mode, and range in simple
examples to demonstrate that they may differ for a given set of data
Using Sampling and Probability to Make Decisions
Using Sampling and Probability to Make Decisions
Using Sampling and Probability to Make Decisions
• Determines probability - must determine size of sample space
• Modifies sample space to change the probability of an event
• Determines the probability of independent simple compound events
• Determines the possible outcomes for a simple probability experiment
using dart boards
• Determines the outcome of simple multiple events
• Uses the results of probability experiments or events to predict future
events
• Predicts from an analysis of data and statistical measures
• Predicts from charts and tables
• Describes the population based on a given sample
• Determines probability using counting procedures
• Determines probability using tables
• Determines the complement of a complex event
• Determines probability using an area model
• Uses theoretical probability to predict future events
• Predicts from an analysis of data and statistical measures
• Describes the population based on a given sample
• Determines the probabilities of complex compound events
(independent)
• Uses random sampling techniques
New Vocabulary: box-and-whisker plot, data point, interquartile range,
middle, representative sample, sample
New Signs and Symbols: °F degrees Fahrenheit
New Vocabulary: None
New Signs and Symbols: ∙ outlier

Explanatory Notes
* At the range mid-point, this is the probability students would correctly answer items measuring these concepts and skills. Both data from test items and review by NWEA curriculum specialists are used to place Learning Continuum statements into
appropriate RIT ranges. Blank cells indicate data are limited or unavailable for this range or document version.
