Indicator
- 1. Organize and display data
Objectives
- Organize and display data to make frequency tables
Assessment limit: Use no more than 5 categories or ranges of numbers and total frequencies of no more than 25
- Organize and display data to make stem-and-leaf plots
Assessment limit: Use no more than 20 data points and whole numbers (0–999)
- Organize and display data using a back-to-back stem-and-leaf plot
Topic
B. Data Analysis
Indicator
- 1. Analyze data
Objectives
- Interpret frequency tables
Assessment limit: Use no more than 5 categories or ranges of numbers and frequencies of no more than 25
- Read and analyze circle graphs
Assessment limit: Use no more than 5 categories using data in whole numbers or percents (0 – 1000)
- Interpret data from a stem-and-leaf plot
Indicator
- 2. Describe a set of data
Objective

Note: Highlighted assessment limits will be tested in the no calculator section of MSA. In the assessment limit, (0-10) or (-10 to 10) means all numbers in the problem or the answer will fall within the range of 0 to 10 (including endpoints) or -10 to 10 (including endpoints), respectively. All content standards are tested in MSA but not all objectives. Objectives that have an assessment limit are tested on MSA. Objectives without an assessment limit are not tested on MSA.
