Learning Goal
Part of: Develop understanding of statistical variability — 1 of 3 cluster items
Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data
Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, "How old am I?" is not a statistical question, but "How old are the students in my school?" is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students' ages.
