Grade 6 Standards: Variability & Distributions
Develop understanding of statistical variability.
6.SP.1. 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.

absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern
with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
* Relating the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context in
which the data were gathered.
