
Upper and lower quartiles

Sampling techniques (variability, bias, and randomness)

Distribution of data

Scale and interval changes

Relevancy of data
You can use statistical investigations to generate questions which help determine strategies for analyzing, justifying, and predicting situations.
Measures of Central Tendency are used to analyze different graphical representations.
You can consider the measure of central tendency and the type of data to determine the appropriate display model (line plots, scatter plots, histograms, bar
