What Probability and Statistics covers

Data in Context

  • PS.DC.1 — Use a statistical cycle to formulate questions, describe data types, sources, and constraints within a problem context.
  • PS.DC.2 — Compare and contrast data collection methods to plan and conduct an observational study.
  • PS.DC.3 — Utilize principles of experimental design to plan and conduct a well-designed experiment.

Descriptive Statistics

  • PS.DS.1 — Represent and analyze univariate quantitative data visualizations to identify patterns and departures.
  • PS.DS.2 — Represent and analyze numerical characteristics of univariate quantitative data sets.
  • PS.DS.3 — Represent, compare, and analyze distributions of two or more univariate quantitative data sets.
  • PS.DS.4 — Represent and analyze categorical data using two-way tables and graphical displays.
  • PS.DS.5 — Represent and analyze quantitative bivariate data with scatterplots to identify relationships.
  • PS.DS.6 — Create and interpret a linear model using the least squares regression method to assess relationships.

Probability

  • PS.P.1 — Organize information and apply probability rules to compute event probabilities.
  • PS.P.2 — Represent and interpret situations using discrete random distributions, including binomial distributions.
  • PS.P.3 — Represent and interpret situations using normal distributions.

Inferential Statistics

  • PS.IS.1 — Apply properties of sampling distributions and inference procedures to make decisions about population proportions.
  • PS.IS.2 — Apply properties of sampling distributions and inference procedures to make decisions about populations.

Frequently asked questions

How many standards does Probability and Statistics cover?

Probability and Statistics covers 14 individual Virginia SOL standards across its 4 strands.

Where can I find Probability and Statistics SOL practice tests?

The Virginia Department of Education publishes official released tests and practice items at doe.virginia.gov — see our Virginia SOL practice tests guide for direct links. SOL Prep adds standard-by-standard practice for each of the 14 Probability and Statistics standards below.

How should I study for the Probability and Statistics SOL?

Start with a diagnostic to find which of the 14 Probability and Statistics standards you're weakest on, then focus practice there instead of re-reviewing what you already know. Work each standard's skills, then take a mixed practice check.
