Adult Goal 8: Learners will develop and use skills in data analysis, statistics, and probability.

OBJECTIVES EXAMPLES
Objective A: Learners will identify vocabulary and symbolism of statistics and probability.
  • Median, average, mean, mode with real-life situations or problems.
  • Use a calculator with Statistical Mode (elective for students with selected career goals).
Objective B: Learners will investigate the use of statistics in real-world situations.
  • Collect, organize, describe and interpret data.
  • Construct, read, and interpret displays of data in tables, budgets, charts, and graphs.
  • Evaluate statements based on data analysis.
  • Formulate and solve problems involving collecting and analyzing data.
  • Recognize data analysis as a tool for decision- making.
Objective C: Learners will explore the use of probability in real-world situations.
  • Explore the concepts of chance.
  • Make predictions that are based on experimental or theoretical probabilities, e.g., in genetics or tossing a coin.
  • Model situations by devising simulations to determine probabilities in modifying existing system.
  • Identify the pervasive use of probability in the real world.
  • Formulate and solve problems that involve probability.
Objective D: Learners will understand and apply the concepts of range to establish acceptable upper and lower limits (tolerance).
  • Read, interpret, and construct a chart, graph, or diagram related to concepts of tolerance and acceptable ranges.
