6.SP.A.2 Understand that a set of data collected to
answer a statistical question has a distribution which
can be described by its center, spread, and overall
shape.
6.SP.A.3 Recognize that a measure of center for a
numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a
single number, while a measure of variation describes
how its values vary with a single number.
6.SP.B.4 Display numerical data in plots on a number
line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.

6.SP.B.5 Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their
context, such as by:
 6.SP.B.5a Reporting the number of observations.
 6.SP.B.5b Describing the nature of the attribute under
investigation, including how it was measured and its units of
measurement.
 6.SP.B.5c Giving quantitative measures of center (median
and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or
mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall
pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern
with reference to the context in which the data were
gathered.

Shape of the Distribution
What would the shape be for the distribution of
salaries of the 2013 Chicago Cubs?
The distribution of salaries for
the 2013 Chicago Cubs is
skewed. Most players made
less than $2 million. There are
two players that made an
exceptionally large salaries.
(Alfonso Soriano made $19
million and Edwin Jackson
made $13 million.)

Measures of Spread
Range = maximum value – minimum value
Interquartile Range = Quartile3 – Quartile1
Interquartile Range (iqr) is the spread of the
middle 50% of the data.
Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) = sum of the distances of
each data value from the mean divided by the total
number of observations.
Big Idea:
The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is the average
distance (deviation) of data values from the mean.

The Mean as a Balance Point (An Introduction to MAD)
From Engage NY Grade 6 Module 6 Lesson 7
Sabina wants to know how long it takes students to get to school. She
asks two students how long it takes them to get to school. It takes one
student 1 minute and the other student 11 minutes. She thinks the mean is
the balance point. What do you think?

Measures of Spread
Introducing Deviations
A deviation is the distance of a piece of data from the mean.
A value that is below the mean has a negative deviation. A
value above the mean has a positive deviation.
The deviation of 1 to the
mean is 1 – 6 = - 5
The deviation of 11 to the
mean is 11 – 6 = 5
Questions:
1) What is the deviation from the mean for each of the pennies?
2) What is the sum of these two deviations?

Introducing Deviations
Sabrina wants to know what happens if there are more than two data
points. Suppose there are three students. One student lives 2 minutes from
school, and another student lives 9 minutes from school. If the mean time
for all three students is 6 minutes, she wonders how long it takes the third
student to get to school. She tapes pennies at 2 and 9.

Activity: School Night Sleep
How many hours of sleep do sixth graders get on a school
night?
Let’s make some predictions:
1)
Typically, how many hours of sleep do you think a sixth
grader gets?
2)
How much will the number of hours of sleep vary if we
asked a group of ten sixth graders?
3)
What do you predict will be the fewest hours?
4)
What do you predict will be the most hours?

Measures of Spread
On Monday morning, Carlos asked ten of his sixth grade
classmates how many hours of sleep they usually get on school
nights. He then created a dot plot of their answers.
Questions:
1) Looking at the dot plot above, typically how much sleep did the
ten sixth graders get on a school night?
2) How much did the amount of sleep vary?
3) What is the shape of this distribution?
Statistics Standards for 6th Grade
Measures of Spread
Let’s look at another method of measuring the spread of
the data.
Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD)
The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is the average distance of
the data from the mean. We find MAD by doing these steps:
1)
Calculate the mean.
2)
Find the deviation for each data value.
3)
Take the absolute value of each deviation.
4)
Find the average of these absolute deviations (distances).

7.SP.A.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.
7.SP.A.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. For
example, estimate the mean word length in a book by randomly
sampling words from the book; predict the winner of a school
election based on randomly sampled survey data. Gauge how far
off the estimate or prediction might be.

Random Sampling to Draw Inferences About a Population
Gettysburg Address
Judgment Sample
First ask students to take a quick look at the population of
268 words and select 5 words that they think form a
representative sample of the length of words found in the
Gettysburg Address. This is a judgment sample. Students
record the five words and the number of letters in each
word in the table provided. After calculating the mean of
the sample, each student records his mean on the class dot
plot on the chalkboard.
Statistics Standards for 7th Grade
Random Sampling to Draw Inferences About a Population
How do we ensure that we select a sample that is
representative of the population? We choose a method
that eliminates the possibility that our own preferences,
favoritism or biases impact who (or what) is selected. We
want to give all individuals an equal chance to be chosen.
We do not want the method of picking the sample to
exclude certain individuals or favors others. One method
that helps us to avoid biases is to select a simple random
sample. If we want a sample to have n individuals, we use
a method that will ensure that every possible sample from
the population of size n has an equal chance of being
selected.
Statistics Standards for 7th Grade
Random Sampling to Draw Inferences About a Population
Which of the following would produce a simple random
sample of size 6 from the population of all students in our
classroom?
A. Select the first 6 students that enter the classroom.
B. Put every student’s name in a hat, mix and draw 6
names.
C. The classroom has 6 tables with three students per
table. Randomly select two tables. The students at
these two tables are the sample.
D. The classroom has 6 tables of students. Randomly select
one student from each table.

7.SP.C.8a Understand that, just as with simple events, the probability
of a compound event is the fraction of outcomes in the sample space
for which the compound event occurs.
7.SP.C.8b Represent sample spaces for compound events using
methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams. For an
event described in everyday language (e.g., “rolling double sixes”),
identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event.
7.SP.C.8c Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for
compound events. For example, use random digits as a simulation
tool to approximate the answer to the question: If 40% of donors
have type A blood, what is the probability that it will take at least 4
donors to find one with type A blood?

8.SP.A.1 Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate
measurement data to investigate patterns of association between
two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers,
positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear
association.
8.SP.A.2 Know that straight lines are widely used to model
relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots
that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and
informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the
data points to the line.
8.SP.A.3 Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in
the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope
and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology
experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an
additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an
additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height.

Investigate Patterns of Association in Bivariate Data
What is bivariate data?
bi - means two
variate – means variable
Bivariate data is data about two variables. If the two
variables are numeric, we examine the relationship
between the two variables using a scatterplot. If the two
variables are categorical, we organize the data in a twoway frequency table and look for an association.

8.SP.A.4 Understand that patterns of association can
also be seen in bivariate categorical data by
displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a
two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table
summarizing data on two categorical variables
collected from the same subjects. Use relative
frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe
possible association between the two variables. For
example, collect data from students in your class on
whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and
whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is
there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to
have chores?

8.SP.4 Summarize categorical data in two categories
Big Ideas:
 Review the difference between numeric data and

 Explain that frequency refers to the count of the data.
Relative frequency is a proportion.
 Analyze relative frequencies and assess possible
associations and trends in the data.

Investigate Patterns of Association in Bivariate Data
Association of two categorical variables
 There is an association between two categorical
variables if the row (or column) conditional relative
frequencies are different from row to row (or column
to column) in the table.
 The greater the difference between the conditional
relative frequencies, the stronger the association.
