procedures and missing or
incorrect information
on reliability.
B. Discuss the reliability of
results gathered via
convenience sampling.
         
  C. Fit a line to the scatter plot
of two quantities and describe
any correlation of the
variables
.
C. Draw a scatter plot of two
quantities
.
         
  D. Design and carry out a
random sampling procedure.
D. Complete a teacher directed
survey and organize the data
in a frequency table.
         
  E. Analyze and display data
in stem-and-leaf and box-andwhisker
plots.
• Analyze and choose the best
statistical model to display
the data (e.g., line, bar, circle
graph).
E. Display and analyze data
using stem and leaf plots. Use
an accurate title and key.
         
  F. Use scientific and graphing
calculators and computer
spreadsheets to organize and
analyze data.
