Describe and interpret patterns that exist for the distribution.

Describe and interpret any outliers or gaps in the distribution.

Students will use distributions to compare two or more groups. Students will compare two or more groups by analyzing distributions.

Construct appropriate graphical displays of distributions.

Use graphical and numerical attributes of distributions to make comparisons between distributions.

Students will determine if an association exists between two variables (pattern or trend in bivariate data) and use values of one variable to predict values of another variable. Students will analyze associations between variables and make predictions from one variable to another

Analyze associations between two variables.

Create scatter plots for two-variable numerical data.

Create two-way tables for two-variable categorical data.

Analyze patterns and trends in data displays.

Make predictions and draw conclusions from two-variable data based on data displays

Distinguish between association and causation
