You will learn how to
•
Use the process of statistical investigation to explore problems
•
Use information from samples to draw conclusions about populations
•
Explore the influence of sample size on the variability of the
distribution of sample means or medians
•
Evaluate sampling plans
•
Use probability to select random samples from populations
•
Compare sample distributions using measures of center (mean,
median), measures of variability (range, minimum and maximum data
values, percentiles), and displays that group data (histograms, box-and-
whisker plots)
•
Explore relationships between paired values of numerical variables
