(1) The benchmark for mathematics content standard 2 for a student at the end of grade 8 is the ability to:

(a) collect data from a variety of contexts (e.g., science, history, and culture, including Montana American Indians); and organize and represent data in box plots, scatter plots, histograms, and circle graphs using technology when appropriate;

(b) interpret, analyze, and evaluate data using mean, median, range, and quartiles to identify trends and make decisions and predictions about data within scientific and cultural contexts, including those of Montana American Indians; and

(c) create sample spaces and simulations from events found in different cultures, including Montana American Indians, determine experimental and theoretical probabilities, and use probability to make predictions.
