Section CLXXI-2307 - Statistics and ProbabilityA. Use the mean and standard deviation of a data set to fit it to a normal distribution and to estimate population percentages. Recognize that there are data sets for which such a procedure is not appropriate. Use calculators, spreadsheets, and tables to estimate areas under the normal curve.B. Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related. 1. Fit a function to the data; use functions fitted to data to solve problems in the context of the data. (Use given functions or choose a function suggested by the context. Emphasize exponential models.)C. Understand statistics as a process for making inferences to be made about population parameters based on a random sample from that population.D. Decide if a specified model is consistent with results from a given data-generating process, e.g., using simulation. Example: A model says a spinning coin falls heads up with probability 0.5. Would a result of 5 tails in a row cause you to question the model?
E. Recognize the purposes of and differences among sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies; explain how randomization relates to each.F. Use data from a sample survey to estimate a population mean or proportion; develop a margin of error through the use of simulation models for random sampling. G. Use data from a randomized experiment to compare two treatments; use simulations to decide if differences between parameters are significant.H. Evaluate reports based on data.La. Admin.
