UNIT IV

This document outlines the goals, understandings, essential questions, and skills for a unit on measures of position and shape. The unit focuses on measures of central tendency, variability, and position. Students will analyze real-world data sets using these measures and consider uncertainty in decision-making. They will understand how measures of position compare individual data points and how comparisons across data sets require care. Students will know key probability concepts and be able to compute various measures of position and convert between them.

UNIT IV

Measure of Position and Measure of Shape

Established Goals

Content Standard/s:
 The learner demonstrates understanding of the key concepts of mean, median, and
mode of Ungrouped Data.
 Key concepts of measures of position such as Quartiles, Percentiles and deiles as
well as the standard normal variable z.

Performance Standard/s:
The learner is able to:
 Conduct a mini-research using the different descriptive measures of data that they
have studied, such as the measures of central tendency of variability and of
position.

Transfer:
Students will be able to dependently use their learning to:
 Analyze various sets of data that they encounter in their daily lives and make
more informed decisions based on the measures of position computed from these
data
 Consider the factor of uncertainty when making decisions based on statistics
derived from.

Meaning:
Understandings (U)
Students will understand that:
 Data may contain meanings that are not initially evident.
 Measures of position are helpful in comparing an individual data observation
from the rest of the data set.
 Measures of position may vary from one data set to another, so comparisons
across two or more data sets must be done carefully to avoid inaccurate
conclusions.
 Uncertainty is a natural characteristic of our daily lives.
 Measures of position and computed probability values must be used judiciously in
making decisions.

Essential Questions (EQs):


Students will keep considering the following questions:
 How does one know the most appropriate measure to describe a given data set?
 How will an understanding of probability help you in making important
decisions?
 Will your knowledge of the probability of an event influence your decisions about
these events? Why or why not?
 How can you make available data provide you with more information?
 What important information can you obtain from the different measures of
position?
 In what ways can measures of position be missed?
 You encounter various sets of data from media almost every day. How will you
decide whether or not to believe these data?

Acquisition:

Knowledge (K)
Students will know:
 The measures of position can be used to determine the relative standing of an
individual observation within a given set of numerical data.
 The standard score or z-score can be used to identify possible outliers in a given
data set.
 A box and whiskers plot or the five-number summary is a convenient way of
pictorially representing how the scores in a data set are spread out.
 The difference between priori and posterior probabilities.
 The basic probability terms such as experiments, sample space and events.
 The differences among sure events, impossible events, complementary events,
mutually exclusive events and independent events.

Skills (S)
Students will be skilled at:
 Computing the various measures of position, and converting all measures to
percentiles.
 Making simple decisions based on the computed probabilities of given events.
