6th Grade - Math - 6.SP - Statistics & Probability
Develop understanding of statistical variability.
|
6.SP.1
|
Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, "How old am I?" is not a statistical question, but "How old are the students in my school?" is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students' ages.
