 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * The purpose of this unit is for students to develop an understanding of statistical variability and to be able understand how to summarize or describe distributions. This includes being able to produce quantitative measures from numerical data sets, and using these measures to describe, summarize, or observe graphical displays, distributions, and overall patterns. Also, students will learn to use quantitative data sets and measurements to create a variety of graphical displays that help to summarize the data as a whole. These graphs will include number lines, dot plots, histograms, and box plots. Through the creation and production of quantitative measurements and graphs, students will learn to analyze, summarize, and observe sets of data in various forms. The will be able to make inferences about certain data sets in relation to the context in which the data was collected, how the data was measured, and its units of measurement. Through each of these tasks, students will understand how numerical data is seen in real life, as well as how it is used in real life situations.
