This standard asks you to read and understand mathematical and statistical information (from graphs, tables, articles, etc.) and use it to make real-world decisions or judgements. You need to show that you can extract relevant information, perform calculations if needed, and explain why you've reached your conclusion based on the data provided.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Extract and identify relevant information from statistical displays like graphs, tables, and articles
- ·Make calculations with percentages and fractions where needed to support your answer
- ·Describe features of the data (such as patterns in time series or relationships between variables) in context
- ·Use multiple sources of information to form and justify a decision or recommendation
- ·Connect the data to real-world knowledge and your own worldview when interpreting information and making predictions
You make one clear description of features in the statistical display and use relevant information from provided resources to answer part of the question, with accurate calculations.
You describe features of the data with statistical evidence from multiple sources, use this information to justify your recommendations, and clearly communicate calculations in context.
