Probability and Statistics
In this task, students will draw inferences about a population of M&Ms based upon random samples of M&Ms using proportional reasoning developed in unit three.
STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICAL CONTENT
MGSE7.SP.1 Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.
MGSE7.SP.2 Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions.
