GLOs AND SLOs

GLO(s):
Statistics and Probability: Collect, display and analyze data to solve problems.
SLO(s):
1. Demonstrate an understanding of central tendency and range by:
determining the measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and range
determining the most appropriate measures of central tendency to report findings. [C, PS, R, T] [ICT: P23.4]
- Determine mean, median and mode for a given set of data, and explain why these values may be the same or different.
- Determine the range for a given set of data.
- Provide a context in which the mean, median or mode is the most appropriate measure of central tendency to use when
reporting findings.
- Solve a given problem involving the measures of central tendency.
2. Determine the effect on the mean, median and mode when an outlier is included in a data set. [C, CN, PS, R]
- Analyze a given set of data to identify any outliers.
- Explain the effect of outliers on the measures of central tendency for a given data set.
- Identify outliers in a given set of data, and justify whether or not they are to be included in reporting the measures of central
tendency.
- Provide examples of situations in which outliers would and would not be used in reporting the measures of central tendency

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
(These should be derived from the SLOs listed above.)
Determine range median mode and mean
Determine which one to use in different contexts
Identify outliers
Determine what happens when outliers are included.

How to determine range median mode

and mean.
Identify outliers

When in real life could you use statistics?

Why is it important to learn?

Analyze which situations to use certain forms of central tendency.

Analyze when to include an outlier or when to take it out and what that does.
