• D-2-M
       analyzing, interpreting, evaluating, drawing inferences, and making estimations, predictions, decisions, and convincing arguments based on organized data (e.g., analyze data using concepts of mean, median, mode, range, random samples, sample size, bias, and data extremes);   (1,2,3,4,5)
• D-6-M
       demonstrating the connection of data analysis, probability, and discrete math to other strands and to real-life situations.   (1,2,3,4,5)
