Identify quartiles and the five-number summary
Identify and interpret the measures of spread: range, IQR and standard deviation
Determine if any outliers exist in a data set
Construct and interpret boxplots
Interpret numerical summaries to compare quantitative data distributions
Week 5: Modeling with the Normal Distribution
Essential Question: What is normal?
Objectives:
Identify and interpret measures of position: percentiles and z-scores
Identify the effect of adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing by a constant on the shape, center and spread of a data distribution
Identify the normal distribution and its characteristics
Use the 68-95-99.7 Rule to estimate the proportion of observations of a normal distribution
Use the standard normal distribution to determine the proportion of values in a particular interval
Use technology to interpret normal distributions
Week 6: Scatterplots and Correlation
Essential Question: How can we determine if there is a relationship between two quantitative variables?

Identify and interpret the least-squares regression line
Find and describe residuals
Construct and interpret residual plots
Identify and interpret the coefficient of determination
Explain why association does not imply causation
