NC Standards Alignments

These are the resources that support this North Carolina Standard.

NC.6.SP.3 - Understand that both a measure of center and a description of variability should be considered when describing a numerical data set. a. Determine the measure of center of a data set and understand that it is a single number that summarizes all the values of that data set. Understand that a mean is a measure of center that represents a balance point or fair share of a data set and can be influenced by the presence of extreme values within the data set. Understand the median as a measure of center that is the numerical middle of an ordered data set. b. Understand that describing the variability of a data set is needed to distinguish between data sets in the same scale, by comparing graphical representations of different data sets in the same scale that have similar measures of center, but different spreads.
