Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:

Describe data distributions and use probability models to predict outcomes.

What this standard means

  • Reporting the number of observations.
  • Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement.
  • Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
  • Apply summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by: with models and explanation

How to use the 20 practice sets

| Sets | When to use | | --- | --- | | 1–5 | Intro — explore together, short written items | | 6–10 | Core skills — diagrams and written practice | | 11–15 | Mixed review — explain thinking | | 16–20 | Stretch — word problems and mastery tasks |

Pacing: 10–15 minutes per session.

How to practice

1. Calculate mean, median, and range from data sets 2. Use dot plots and box plots to compare groups 3. List sample space before finding probability

Common mistakes

  • Confusing mean and median
  • Probability greater than 1 or less than 0
  • Ignoring all outcomes in the sample space

Review and practice tests

1. Start Review 1/10 when sets 1–3 feel comfortable. 2. Move up one review level with little help. 3. Use Practice Test 4/10–6/10 for mid-standard checks. 4. Practice Test 10/10 is the mastery bar for 6.SP.B.5.
