Describe relative and relative conditional frequencies of two-way tables.
The core standards covered in this lesson
HSS-ID.B.5 — Summarize categorical data for two categories in two-way frequency tables. Interpret relative frequencies in the context of the data (including joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies). Recognize possible associations and trends in the data.
The foundational standards covered in this lesson
8.SP.A.4 — Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores?
The essential concepts students need to demonstrate or understand to achieve the lesson objective
Suggestions for teachers to help them teach this lesson
This lesson starts to get at how a two-way table can show association between two variables using relative and joint frequencies. This work will continue in Geometry when students study probability.

Problems designed to teach key points of the lesson and guiding questions to help draw out student understanding
100 students want to have burritos for lunch. 49 of those students are women. 75 students want tacos, and 26 students want quesadillas. 103 women were asked their lunch choices. 20 students who want quesadillas are men.
Using the table you created in Anchor Problem #1, describe:
A set of suggested resources or problem types that teachers can turn into a problem set
Give your students more opportunities to practice the skills in this lesson with a downloadable problem set aligned to the daily objective.
A task that represents the peak thinking of the lesson - mastery will indicate whether or not objective was achieved
Juniors and seniors were asked if they plan to attend college immediately after graduation, seek full-time employment, or choose some other option. A random sample of 100 students was selected from those who completed the survey.
Below is a chart of some of the relative frequencies. Complete the calculations for each of the blank cells.
A school website article indicated that “a vast majority of students from our school plan to attend college.” Do you agree or disagree with that article? Explain why you agree or disagree.

Lesson 15
Topic A: Descriptive Statistics in Univariate Data
Describe statistics. Represent data in frequency graphs and identify the center of a data set.
HSS-IC.A.1 HSS-ID.A.1 HSS-ID.A.2
Describe center and spread. Represent data in a box plot (box-and-whisker plot) and calculate the center and spread.
HSS-ID.A.1 HSS-ID.A.2
Represent data in a histogram and calculate the center. Identify when the median and mean are not the same value.
HSS-ID.A.1
Describe the shape of the data in box plots and histograms. Choose an appropriate measure of center (or an appropriate shape) based on the shape and the relationship between the mean and the median.
HSS-ID.A.2 HSS-ID.A.3
Calculate and interpret the spread (variance) of a data set.
HSS-ID.A.3 HSS-ID.A.4
Calculate the standard deviation and compare two symmetrical distributions based on the mean and standard deviation.
HSS-ID.A.2 HSS-ID.A.4
Interpret the standard deviation and interquartile range.
Calculate population percentages using the standard deviation.
HSS-ID.A.4
Given summary statistics, describe the best measures of center and spread. Describe reasoning.
HSS-ID.A.2
Develop and answer statistical questions through data analysis of existing data using appropriate statistical measures and displays. (Part 1/3)
HSS-ID.A.1 HSS-ID.A.2 HSS-ID.A.3 HSS-ID.A.4
Develop and answer statistical questions through data analysis of existing data using appropriate statistical measures and displays. (Part 2/3)
Develop and answer statistical questions through data analysis of existing data using appropriate statistical measures and displays. (Part 3/3)

Topic B: Descriptive Statistics in Bivariate Data
Define categorical and numerical data. Create two-way tables to organize bivariate categorical data.
HSS-ID.B.5
Create scatterplots and identify function shapes in scatterplots.
HSS-ID.B.6
Calculate, with technology, the correlation coefficient for a data set. Explain why correlation does not determine causation.
HSS-ID.C.8 HSS-ID.C.9
Determine the function of best fit and create a linear equation from least squares regression using technology.
HSS-ID.B.6a HSS-ID.B.6b HSS-ID.C.7
Use residuals to assess the strength of the model for a data set.
HSS-ID.B.6b HSS-ID.B.6c
Describe the relationship between two quantitative variables in a contextual situation represented in a scatterplot using the correlation coefficient, least squares regression, and residuals as evidence.
HSS-ID.B.6a HSS-ID.C.7 HSS-ID.C.9
HSS-ID.B.6 HSS-ID.C.7 HSS-ID.C.8 HSS-ID.C.9
