Identifying Problems in Statistical Questions (B) WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade
CCSS: 6.SP.A.1
CCSS Description: 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.
