  • Drawing conclusions from data is a central idea in the statistics standards of CCSSM and in AP Statistics. A “significant difference” is one that is unlikely to have occurred by chance, so assessing significance involves ruling out chance as a possible explanation. This session includes simulation activities that illustrate “ruling out chance.”
