Grade/Subject: 7th Grade Dates/Pace: January 13th
Math
Unit Topics: Unit 4 Inferences
GPS/QCCs (Write out):
Using Random Sampling to draw inferences about a population.
MCC7.SP.1 Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population;
generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random
sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.
MCC7.SP.2 Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate
multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions.
Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.
MCC7.SP.3 Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the
difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability.
MCC7.SP.4 Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative
inferences about two populations.
Prior to teaching: proportions, samples, populations, random samples, and bias samples
