Mathematics, Standard E: Statistics and Probability
Performance Standards - Grade 12


By the end of grade twelve, students will:

E.12.1 Work with data in the context of real-world situations by

  • formulating hypotheses that lead to collection and analysis of one- and two-variable data
  • designing a data collection plan that considers random sampling, control groups, the role of assumptions, etc.
  • conducting an investigation based on that plan
  • using technology to generate displays, summary statistics*, and presentations

E.12.2 Organize and display data from statistical investigations using

  • frequency distributions
  • percentiles*, quartiles, deciles
  • line of best fit* (estimated regression line)
  • matrices

E.12.3 Interpret and analyze information from organized and displayed data when given

  • measures of dispersion*, including standard deviation and variance
  • measures of reliability
  • measures of correlation*

E.12.4 Analyze, evaluate, and critique the methods and conclusions of statistical experiments reported in journals, magazines, news media, advertising, etc.

E.12.5 Determine the likelihood of occurrence of complex events by

  • using a variety of strategies (e.g., combinations*) to identify possible outcomes
  • conducting an experiment
  • designing and conducting simulations*
  • applying theoretical probability
