Domain - Making Inferences and Justifying Conclusions
Cluster - Understand and evaluate random processes underlying statistical experiments.
[AII.S-IC.A.1] - Understand statistics as a process for making inferences to be made about population parameters based on a random sample from that population.*
- Differences between parameters
A difference of numerical characteristics of a population, including measures of center and/or spread. - Random sampling
A smaller group of people or objects chosen from a larger group or population by a process giving equal chance of selection to all possible people or objects.
[AII.S-IC.B.3] -
Recognize the purposes of and differences among sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies; explain how randomization relates to each.*
[AII.S-IC.B.4] -
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.*
[AII.S-IC.B.5] -
Use data from a randomized experiment to compare two treatments; use simulations to decide if differences between parameters are significant.*
[HS.LS.2.6] -
Analyze data to show ecosystems tend to maintain relatively consistent numbers and types of organisms even when small changes in conditions occur but that extreme fluctuations in conditions may result in a new ecosystem. Construct an argument supported by evidence that ecosystems with greater biodiversity tend to have greater resistance to change and resilience. Clarification Statement: Examples of changes in ecosystem conditions could include modest biological or physical changes, such as moderate hunting or a seasonal flood; and extreme changes, such as volcanic eruption, fires, the decline or loss of a keystone species, climate changes, ocean acidification, or sea level rise.
[HS.LS.3.3] -
Apply concepts of probability to represent possible genotype and phenotype combinations in offspring caused by different types of Mendelian inheritance patterns. Clarification Statements: Representations can include Punnett squares, diagrams, pedigree charts, and simulations. Inheritance patterns include dominant-recessive, codominance, incomplete dominance, and sex-linked.
