Stating Hypotheses

Topic 2: Comparing Two Proportions

Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data

Summarize, represent, and interpret data on two categorical and quantitative variables.

Summarize categorical data for two categories in two-way frequency tables. Interpret relative frequencies in the content of the data (including joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies). Recognize possible associations and trends in the data.

Making Inferences and Justifying Conclusions

Make inferences and justify conclusions from sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies.

Conditional Probability and the Rules of Probability

Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data

Construct and interpret two-way frequency tables of data when two categories are associated with each object being classified. Use the two-way table as a sample space to decide if events are independent and to approximate conditional probabilities.
