Physiological Determinants of Global Health

Appendix: Alignment to Standards

In the interest of making this unit most useful to the widest audience, I have identified the Common Core Math Standards that align to this unit below.

Measures of Central Tendency and Dispersion Standards

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.A.2. Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.A.3. Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).

Grouping Data and Measuring Frequency Standard

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.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.

Linear Correlation Standards

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.C.7. Interpret the slope (rate of change) and the intercept (constant term) of a linear model in the context of the data.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.C.8. Compute (using technology) and interpret the correlation coefficient of a linear fit.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.C.9. Distinguish between correlation and causation.
