2. Common Core Math I Unit 2 Day 1 One-Variable Statistics

3. Two Main Uses of Statistics
TO DESCRIBE (Data Analysis) TO PREDICT (Statistical Inference)

4. Definitions Data: A collection of information in context.
Population: A set of individuals that we wish to describe and/or make predictions about.
Individual: Member of a population.
Variable: Characteristic recorded about each individual in a data set.

5. Types of Variables
Categorical Variable: A variable that records qualities or characteristics of an individual, such as gender or eye color.
Quantitative Variable: A variable that measures a characteristic of an individual, such as height, weight, or age.
In this unit, we will focus on quantitative data.

6. What type is it? Categorical Quantitative
Go over the Collect student data worksheet and discuss which type of variable each one is.

7. Categorical or Quantitative Data?
Birth month
Number of siblings
Average amount of time (in minutes) of your ride to school.
Number of pets
model of the car you drive (or dream car ;P)
Age of your youngest parent
Predicted letter grade of your first Math 1 test.

9. Describing Data
Two ways to describe data:
Graphically
Numerically

10. Describing Data Graphically
Dotplot
Histogram
Boxplot

11. Describing Data Numerically
Measures of Center – mean, median
Measures of Spread – range, interquartile range, standard deviation

12. Think: “What is the typical value?”
Measures of Center
Think: “What is the typical value?”
Note: Students do NOT need to copy down these definitions at this point – more with these will come later in the unit.

13. Measures of Spread
Think: “How much do values typically vary from the center?”
Range
Interquartile Range (IQR)
Standard Deviation
