Essential Understandings and Content Standards

#7 Students will understand that people use basis concepts of probability

and statistics to meaningfully collect, organize, display and analyze data to
simulate events.

Students will:

a. (12th) estimate probabilities and predict outcomes

d. (12th) select appropriate measures of central tendency
g. (12th) use scatter plots and curve fitting techniques to interpolate
and extrapolate from data
i. (12th) use simulations to estimate probability
c. (8th) describe the shape of the data using range, outliers, and
measure of central tendency
d. (8th) select and construct appropriate graphs and measures of
central tendency for sets of data

Unit Outcome Statement

Beben, Lepi DRAFT: 06/30/2006 Farmington Public Schools 4

 Consistently aligning all instruction with this statement will maintain focus in this unit.

Students will use statistics and probability concepts to make decisions about
real world situations using a sample. As a result of the statistics component
of this unit students will organize, display, and describe data using
appropriate statistical and graphical methods. As a result of the probability
component of this unit students will understand and apply the basic concepts
of probability using sample spaces, Venn diagrams and tree diagrams as well
as perform simulations.

Essential Questions

These questions help to focus the unit and guide inquiry.

• How reliable or useful are the statistical outcomes in decision making?

• How can data be described and interpreted?
• How can estimations of likelihood be made for random events?

Authentic Performance Task: Analyzing spending trends using Statistics

Goal: Students will analyze the spending habits of families in Farmington using the
grocery receipts. They will report their findings in a newspaper article.
using the data, graphs, measures of central tendency and probability values for
specific types of food items.

Role: You are a reporter for the Farmington Times Weekly newspaper. You have
been assigned the task of writing an article for the newspaper about the spending
habits of families in Farmington for publication in the local paper.

You are a reporter for the Farmington Times Weekly newspaper. You have been
assigned the task of writing an article for the newspaper about the spending habits
of families in Farmington for publication in the local paper. Your emphasis should be
on eating healthy and the new food pyramid. The article will be to inform readers on the trends
you see and make inferences about the nutritional level of the diet of the families.

Preliminary to writing the article you need to collect between 10 and 15 grocery store receipts for
family shopping trips. Before you write your article you will need to analyze the data on these
receipts and study the food pyramid provided. You should then check with the editor (teacher) to
make sure the data is usable for the article.

Using the analysis of the data collected you will write the article for the newspaper. The article
should include information about the data (Who, What, When, Where and How). Within the
article you will include:
• A categorical table of data including: dairy, produce, meat, grain, other foods, and non-
food purchases.
• Appropriate graphic for the data (at least one graph)
• An appropriate measure of central tendency and range for total spent at the store as well
as for each category in the data table
• A time plot of (time shopped, $ spent) along with a linear regression analysis (best fit)
• Comparison of distribution of food purchased in relationship to the guidelines in the
food pyramid (attached)
• Percent saved using coupons (if applicable)

1. Suppose a population control plan for Transville allows parents to have at most four children
each, and must stop having children when they have two girls. Explain how to use a coin to
simulate the experiment of having children until you have either two girls or four children.

2. Ross was exposed to a cold virus and now has a 50% chance of developing a cold on each of the
next 7 days. A simulation was run in which a fair coin was tossed.

H = develops a cold T = does not develop a cold

Each coin toss represents one day. So for example, TTH means that Ross developed a cold on the
third day, and TTTTTTT mean no cold for 7 days.
