Probability and Statistics SOL Prep

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.
